Just in case you are yet in need of a solution...
Solving for A
%283%2F5%29A+=+A%2B5
Isolate A
%283%2F5%29A+-+A+=+5
Set common denominator of 5
%283%2F5%29A+-+%285%2F5%29A+=+5
Combine like terms
%28-2%2F5%29A+=5
Multiply both sides by -5/2
A+=+5%28-5%2F2%29
Distribute the 5
A+=+%28-25%2F2%29=+-12%281%2F2%29+=+-12.5
