x\left(-35\right)=\left(x+5\right)\left(-10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -5,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+5\right), the least common multiple of x+5,x.
x\left(-35\right)=-10x-50
Use the distributive property to multiply x+5 by -10.
x\left(-35\right)+10x=-50
Add 10x to both sides.
-25x=-50
Combine x\left(-35\right) and 10x to get -25x.
x=\frac{-50}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
x=2
Divide -50 by -25 to get 2.
