$$\frac{5}{20}+\frac{9}{65} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{20}+\frac{9}{65} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 260 }. \\[1 em]260\cdot\frac{5}{20}+260\cdot\frac{9}{65} &= 260\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]65+36 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]101 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 101 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
