  1st interpretation:

  14/(3x) + 2/5 = 8/(3x)

  70 + 6x = 40

  6x = - 30

  x = - 5

  Answer: x = - 5

  -----------

  Another interpretation:

  (14/3)x + 2/5 = (8/3)x

  70x + 6 = 40x

  30x = - 6

  x = - 6/30 or - 1/5

  Is this 14/(3x) + 2/5 = 8/(3x)?

  Or (14/3)x + 2/5 = (8/3)x?

  14/(3x) - 8/(3x) = -2/5

  (14 - 8)/(3x) = -2/5

  6/(3x) = -2/5

  2/x = -2/5

  10 = -2x

  x = -5

  (14/3)x - (8/3)x = -2/5

  (14 - 8)x/3 = -2/5

  6x/3 = -2/5

  2x = -2/5

  10x = -2

  x = -1/5

  14 / 3x + 2 / 5 = 8 / 3x

  14 / 3x - 8 / 3x = 2 / 5

  14 - 8 / 3x = 2 / 5

  6 / 3x = 2 / 5

  2 / x = 2 / 5

  2 * 5 / 2 = x

  x = 5

  14/3x +2/5 = 8/3x

  = 14/3x +2 = 40/15x

  14+2 = 40/5x

  16 x 5x = 40

  5x=40/16 (2.5)

  x=0.5

  14/3x + 2/5=8/3x

  14/3x-8/3x=-2/5

  2x=-2/5

  x=-1/5

  Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x.

  We have 14 + 6x/5 = 8......6x/5 = 8 - 14 = - 6.

  Multiply both sides of the eq. by 5

  6x = -30

  Divide both sides by 6

  We get x = - 5
