First, u have the remove the denominator in order to solve the question; which you have to times 15 to all.
the answer will be 60x + 5 = 25x - 12
Next, you move all the number that consists x to the left-hand side: 60x - 25x = -12 - 5
35x = -17
and solve for x:
x = -17/35
=) hope this helps you!

4x + 1/3 = 5/3x - 4/5
4x + 1/3 - 5/3x = - 4/5
4x - 5/3x = - 4/5 - 1/3
ie. put x's on one side, numbers on the other
then do the sums
7/3x = - 17/15
then divide to find x
x = (-17/15) / (7/3)
x = - 17/35

4x - 5/3x = -4/5 - 1/3
12/3x - 5/3x = -12/15 + -5/15
7/3x = -17/15
x = -17/15 divide by 7/3
x = -17/15 * 3/7
x = -51/105

multiply everything by 15, that will get rid of the fractions. you will have 60x+5=25x-12
then bring the x's to one side 35x=-17 so x= -17/35

put the x's together and the numbers together. Find common denominators.
17/15 = -7/3x
muliply both sides by -7/3 to solve for x.
-17/35 = x

if you hate fractions in equations then do this:
multiply the whole equation by 15 ( in order to "destroy" the fractions)
and you'll get
60x+5=25x-12
then you just simply solve it:
move the variebles to the left and the constants to the right
35x=-17
divide it by 35
x=-17/35
