I'm assuming you mean x+%2B+%285%2F4%29+=+%283%2F4%29%2Ax

Multiply both sides by 4 and clear the fractions:
4x+%2B+4%2A%285%2F4%29+=+4%2A%283%2F4%29%2Ax+

Divide out the denominators:
4x+%2B+5+=+3x

Subtract 4x from each side to get all variables on the right side:
4x+-4x+%2B+5+=+3x+-+4x
5+=+-x

Divide both sides by -1:
5%2F%28-1%29+=+%28-x%29%2F%28-1%29+
-5+=+x
