\left(x+5\right)\times 23=28
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -5,5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right), the least common multiple of x-5,x^{2}-25.
23x+115=28
Use the distributive property to multiply x+5 by 23.
23x=28-115
Subtract 115 from both sides.
23x=-87
Subtract 115 from 28 to get -87.
x=\frac{-87}{23}
Divide both sides by 23.
x=-\frac{87}{23}
Fraction \frac{-87}{23} can be rewritten as -\frac{87}{23} by extracting the negative sign.
