took me a while but
3/5= (x-5) / (x+1)
times by (x+1)
3/5(x+1) = x-5
multiply out brackets
3/5x + 3/5 = x-5
plus 5
3/5x + (5+3/5) = x
minus 3/5x
5+3/5 = 2/5timesx
put into decimal form
5.6 = 0.4x
divide by 2
2.8 = 0.2x
times by 5
14 = x

First multiply both sides by 5 (the first denominator) which gives you:
3=5(x-5)/(x+1)
Then multiply both sides times (x+1) which gives you:
3(x+1)=5(x-5)
Multiply out and it gives you:
3x +3 =5x-25
Solve for x
3x=5x-28
-2x=-28
x=14
