5\left(4x+6000\right)=288\left(x+2\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 30\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of 5x+6+x+6,5.
20x+30000=288\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 4x+6000.
20x+30000=288x+576
Use the distributive property to multiply 288 by x+2.
20x+30000-288x=576
Subtract 288x from both sides.
-268x+30000=576
Combine 20x and -288x to get -268x.
-268x=576-30000
Subtract 30000 from both sides.
-268x=-29424
Subtract 30000 from 576 to get -29424.
x=\frac{-29424}{-268}
Divide both sides by -268.
x=\frac{7356}{67}
