2x\times 3+\left(x+2\right)\times 5=0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -2,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of x+2,2x.
6x+\left(x+2\right)\times 5=0
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
6x+5x+10=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by 5.
11x+10=0
Combine 6x and 5x to get 11x.
11x=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-10}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=-\frac{10}{11}
Fraction \frac{-10}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{10}{11} by extracting the negative sign.
