Answer:

(20-3x)/(4x)

Explanation:

-This is an LCM problem.

-To simplify, we introduce a least common multiplier which is equivalent the product of the denominators:

$LCM=x* 4\\\\=4x$

#We introduce the LCM and adjust the fractions based on it :

$=(5)/(x)+(3)/(4)\\\\\\=(20)/(4x)+(3x)/(4x)\\\\\\=(20-3x)/(4x)$

Hence, the simplified form of the fraction is:
(20-3x)/(4x)
