Hi,
TY. Parenthesis so..important for You to receive the proper help.
{{{3/(x+2)+5=23/(x+2)}}}  |Multiplying thru by (x+2) so as all denominators = 1
    3 + 5(x+2) = 23
    3 + 5x + 10 = 23
           5x = 10
            x = 2
and...
{{{3/4 + 20/4 = 23/4}}}
Please re-submit with parenthesis if appropriate.
Otherwise what You have submitted is:
{{{3/x + 2 + 5 = 23/x + 2}}}
