You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use your parentheses, they're free and they avoid confusion.
I'm assuming you mean,
x%2F%282%28a%2Bb%29%29%2B5%2F%28a-b%29=%28bx%29%2F%28b%5E2-a%5E2%29
x%2F%282%28b%2Ba%29%29-5%2F%28b-a%29=%28bx%29%2F%28%28b-a%29%28b%2Ba%29%29

x%28b-a%29-10%28b%2Ba%29=2bx
x%28b-a%29-2bx=10%28b%2Ba%29
bx-xa-2bx=10%28b%2Ba%29
-x%28a%2Bb%29=10%28b%2Ba%29
-x=10
x=-10
