To fill in the missing numbers in the equation:

?/5 - 1/2 = 3/?

Let's begin by finding a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as:

(2? - 5)/10 = 3/?

Next, we can cross-multiply to eliminate the denominators:

2? - 5 = (3 * 10)/?

2? - 5 = 30/?

Now, let's solve for the missing values.

2? - 5 = 30

Adding 5 to both sides:

2? = 35

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to find the missing value:

? = 35/2

So, the missing value is 35/2.
