Just clear fractions in the normal way, by multiplying the whole equation by the LCD of the fractions. For example,
x/3 + x/4 = 7
multiply by 12 to get
4x + 3x = 84
So, if you have
3/x + 4/(5x) = 7
the LCD is 5x and you have
15 + 4 = 35x
Now, the problem you posted is garbled. Clean it up and give it some thought. C'mon back if you get stuck, and show us whatcha got.
