3\left(3x-5\right)=4\left(x+1\right)+36
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,3.
9x-15=4\left(x+1\right)+36
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3x-5.
9x-15=4x+4+36
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+1.
9x-15=4x+40
Add 4 and 36 to get 40.
9x-15-4x=40
Subtract 4x from both sides.
5x-15=40
Combine 9x and -4x to get 5x.
5x=40+15
Add 15 to both sides.
5x=55
Add 40 and 15 to get 55.
x=\frac{55}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=11
Divide 55 by 5 to get 11.
