x+5/4-x+6/2=3/8
5/4+6/2=3/8
x"s cancel, no solution

%28x%2B5%29%2F4+-+%28x-6%29%2F2+=+3%2F8
%282%2A%28x%2B5%29%29%2F8+-+%284%2A%28x-6%29%29%2F8+=+3%2F8
When they all have common denominators (the bottom), you can cancel all of the denominators
2%2A%28x%2B5%29+-+4%28x-6%29+=+3
2x+%2B+10+-+4x+%2B+24+=+3
-2x+%2B+34+=+3
-2x+=+-31
x+=+31%2F2
