Answer:
x=(3)/(10)

Explanation:

The expression is not written clearly. However, let's assume it is:

x+4/2+(x-3)/3=x+2/4+x+3/5

or


x+(4)/(2)+(x-3)/(3)=x+(2)/(4)+x+(3)/(5)

Grouping similar terms:


x+2+(x-3)/(3)=2x+(1)/(2)+x+(3)/(5)

Calculating the least common multiple (l.c.m) in the denominators of both sides of the equation:


(3x+6+x-3)/(3)=(10x+5+6)/(10)

Applying cross product:


10(4x+3)=3(10x+11)

Applying distributive property:


40x+30=30x+33

Isolating
x:


x=(3)/(10)
