x+-+%283%2F5%29+-+1+=+x+-+%285%2F4%29
Find the LCM of 5 and 4 to multiply the entire equation by in order to remove the fractions.
...

20x - 12 - 20 = 20x - 25
Group like terms
20x - 20x = -25 + 20 + 12
0+%3C%3E+7
There is no solution.
...
Did you mean x+-+3%2F%285-1%29+=+%28x-5%29%2F4 or %28x-3%29%2F5+-+1+=+%28x-5%29%2F4???
