The equation is ambiguous.
Always use parentheses to clarify equations.
.
Is the equation:
3%2F2x%2B1%2F5=3%2F4
3%2F2x=15%2F20-4%2F20
1%2Fx=%282%2F3%29%2811%2F20%29
x=60%2F22=30%2F11
.
Or is the equation:
%283%2F2%29x%2B%281%2F5%29=%283%2F4%29%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B%283%2F2%29x=15%2F20-4%2F20
x=%282%2F3%29%2811%2F20%29
x=22%2F60=11%2F30
