\left(4x+2\right)\left(9x-7\right)=\left(6x+5\right)\left(6x-3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{5}{6},-\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(2x+1\right)\left(6x+5\right), the least common multiple of 6x+5,4x+2.
36x^{2}-10x-14=\left(6x+5\right)\left(6x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4x+2 by 9x-7 and combine like terms.
36x^{2}-10x-14=36x^{2}+12x-15
Use the distributive property to multiply 6x+5 by 6x-3 and combine like terms.
36x^{2}-10x-14-36x^{2}=12x-15
Subtract 36x^{2} from both sides.
-10x-14=12x-15
Combine 36x^{2} and -36x^{2} to get 0.
-10x-14-12x=-15
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-22x-14=-15
Combine -10x and -12x to get -22x.
-22x=-15+14
Add 14 to both sides.
-22x=-1
Add -15 and 14 to get -1.
x=\frac{-1}{-22}
Divide both sides by -22.
x=\frac{1}{22}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-22} can be simplified to \frac{1}{22} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
