Question
$$-\frac{\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{3}}{5} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -\frac{\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{3}}{5} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 30 }. \\[1 em]-30 \cdot \frac{\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{3}}{5} &= 30\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]-5 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -5 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
