A)  = .

   Use the quadratic formula 

    =  =  =  = .

-----------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, you failed to use parentheses properly, so your writing is ambiguous. 
I read it like this and I am not responsible if it is wrong. The responsible side are you.


B)  = .

   Multiply both sides by (5*4*3*x) = 60x, which is the common denominator. You will get

   12 - 15 + 20 = -17x.

   Now solve it yourself.
