\left(x-2\right)\left(-2\right)+\left(x+3\right)\times 3=5
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -3,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-2\right)\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x+3,x-2,x^{2}+x-6.
-2x+4+\left(x+3\right)\times 3=5
Use the distributive property to multiply x-2 by -2.
-2x+4+3x+9=5
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by 3.
x+4+9=5
Combine -2x and 3x to get x.
x+13=5
Add 4 and 9 to get 13.
x=5-13
Subtract 13 from both sides.
x=-8
Subtract 13 from 5 to get -8.
