This is the equation you show:

5b%2F8b+-+3a+-+a%2F8b+-+3a+=+1%2F5

I doubt that is what you intend....

Use parentheses!

I could guess where the parentheses are supposed to be and what the equation is supposed to be; but that's not my job. It is YOUR job to post the equation in the correct form.

Re-post, showing the correct equation.
