See below

Multiply both sides by 5:
$\frac{x - 140}{5} \cdot 5 = 152 \cdot 5$ $(x-140)/5*5=152*5$
$x - 140 = 760$ $x-140=760$

Add 140 to both sides:
$x - 140 + 140 = 760 + 140$ $x-140+140=760+140$
$x = 900$ $x=900$

So x is equal to 900.

$x = 900$ $x=900$

$5 \times 152 = x - 140$ $5 xx 152=x-140$

$760 = x - 140$ $760=x-140$

$760 + 140 = x$ $760+140=x$

$x = 900$ $x=900$

This is how you solve it.
