Answer:

x = -96/55

Explanation:

Given that 2x + (5 /3)x + 7 = 3/5

Firstly, we have to multiply through out the expression by the common denominator. We can see that the denominators are 3 and 5, hence the common denominator is 15. Multiplying through by 15 gives:

2x * 15 + (5 /3)x * 15 + 7 * 15 = (3/5) * 15

30x + 25x + 105 = 9

Collect like terms:

30x + 25x = 9 - 105

55x = -96

Dividing through by 55:

x = -96/55
