Hi,

TY, proper parenthesis so important to Your getting the proper help.

%28x%2F3%29=3%2B+%28x-25%29%2F5 |Multiplying thru by 15 so as all denominators = 1

   5x = 45 + 3(x-25)

   5x = 45 + 3x - 75

   2x = -30

    x = -15

and..

-5+=+3+%2B+%28-40%2F5%29

Please resubmit with the proper parenthesis

What You have submitted is:

x%2F3+=+3+%2B+x+-+25%2F5
