One in the same form was asked not more than a couple of days ago and was answered; and the equation was mis-stated.

Most likely meant is %28%28x%2B5%29%2F2%29-%28%28x-5%29%2F5%29=4%2F5.

LCD is 10.
10%28x%2B5%29%2F2-10%28x-5%29%2F5=4%2810%29%2F5
5%28x%2B5%29-2%28x-5%29=8
5x%2B25-2x%2B10=8
3x%2B35=8
3x=8-35=-27
3x=-27
x=-9

If you stated the equation exactly how it was meant or written in your material, then although the shown steps may be different, this solution here should still be helpful.
