You need to express the problem a little more clearly. If you mean:
(x + 2) / 2 + (x - 2) / 5 = 2
Then you can solve it like this:
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 10 (the smallest number that is divisible by both two and five):
10(x + 2) / 2 + 10(x - 2) / 5 = 20
Then you can take care of the division on the left:
5(x + 2) + 2(x - 2) = 20
And then do the multiplication:
5x + 10 + 2x - 4 = 20
Group like terms:
7x + 6 = 20
Move the 6 across to the other side:
7x = 20 - 6
7x = 14
And finally, divide everything by 7:
7x / 7 = 14 / 7
x = 2
