First & formost let's combine similar terms :
%282%2F5%29x=%281%2F3%29x%2B3, working eqn
%282%2F5%29x-%281%2F3%29x=3, get LCD
%28%286-5%29%2F15%29%28x%29=3
%281%2F15%29x=3, cross multiply
x=45, ANSWER
Check by going back working eqn,
%282%2Fcross%285%29%29%28cross%2845%299%29=%281%2Fcross%283%29%29%28cross%2845%2915%29%2B3
18=15%2B3
18=18
Thank you,
