Multiply both sides of the equation by (x+2) to get the x term out of the denominators. Then combine terms and use common denominators.
(x/5) + (x-3) = (7/5)(x+2) = (7/5)x + 7/10
(12/10)x - 28/10 = (14/10)x + 7/10
(2/10)x = -35/10
2x = -35
x = -17 1/2
(x/5) + (x-3) = (7/5)(x+2) = (7/5)x + 7/10
(12/10)x - 28/10 = (14/10)x + 7/10
(2/10)x = -35/10
2x = -35
x = -17 1/2
