I think the question is:
(3/8)x = (3/5)x - 9
Simplify by dividing everything by 3
x/8 = x/5 - 3
Get rid of the fractions by multiplying everything by 40.
40.x/8 = 40.x/5 -3.40
5x = 8x -120
Rearrange
120 = 8x - 5x
120 = 3x
x = 120/3 = 40

Unfortunately, 2 over 2 minus 1 equals 5 over 6 is just a wrong answer! If it is 2 over 2, minus 1, the answer is that it equals zero. If it is 2, over 2 minus 1, the answer is that it equals 2.
h/(-3 - 7) = 10h/-10 = 10h = -100

The answer is 8/36 minus 3/14 equals 1/126
