Assuming that there are no other markings, I will solve this equation using the wonderful order of operations method, PEMDAS.
3/5 = x / x + 2y

3/5 = (x/x) + 2y

3/5 = 1 + 2y

3/5 - 1 = 2y

-.4 = 2y

-.2 = y

y = -1/5

We now know that y = -1/5. I do not know what x equals though, so I cannot fully solve the equation, unfortunately. Hopefully, what I could solve was helpful to you =)
