x=-\frac{3}{4}\left(x+5\right)+30
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}\times 5+30
Use the distributive property to multiply -\frac{3}{4} by x+5.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-3\times 5}{4}+30
Express -\frac{3}{4}\times 5 as a single fraction.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-15}{4}+30
Multiply -3 and 5 to get -15.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}+30
Fraction \frac{-15}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{15}{4} by extracting the negative sign.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{15}{4}+\frac{120}{4}
Convert 30 to fraction \frac{120}{4}.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-15+120}{4}
Since -\frac{15}{4} and \frac{120}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
x=-\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{105}{4}
Add -15 and 120 to get 105.
x+\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{105}{4}
Add \frac{3}{4}x to both sides.
\frac{7}{4}x=\frac{105}{4}
Combine x and \frac{3}{4}x to get \frac{7}{4}x.
x=\frac{105}{4}\times \frac{4}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{4}.
x=\frac{105\times 4}{4\times 7}
Multiply \frac{105}{4} times \frac{4}{7} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{105}{7}
Cancel out 4 in both numerator and denominator.
x=15
Divide 105 by 7 to get 15.
