5\left(x+3\right)=x\left(3x+5\right)b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x, the least common multiple of x,5.
5x+15=x\left(3x+5\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+3.
5x+15=\left(3x^{2}+5x\right)b
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 3x+5.
5x+15=3x^{2}b+5xb
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x^{2}+5x by b.
3x^{2}b+5xb=5x+15
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(3x^{2}+5x\right)b=5x+15
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(3x^{2}+5x\right)b}{3x^{2}+5x}=\frac{5x+15}{3x^{2}+5x}
Divide both sides by 3x^{2}+5x.
b=\frac{5x+15}{3x^{2}+5x}
Dividing by 3x^{2}+5x undoes the multiplication by 3x^{2}+5x.
b=\frac{5\left(x+3\right)}{x\left(3x+5\right)}
Divide 15+5x by 3x^{2}+5x.
