3\times 10+3\left(x+3\right)\times \frac{10}{3}=18\left(x+3\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x+3,3.
30+3\left(x+3\right)\times \frac{10}{3}=18\left(x+3\right)
Multiply 3 and 10 to get 30.
30+10\left(x+3\right)=18\left(x+3\right)
Multiply 3 and \frac{10}{3} to get 10.
30+10x+30=18\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by x+3.
60+10x=18\left(x+3\right)
Add 30 and 30 to get 60.
60+10x=18x+54
Use the distributive property to multiply 18 by x+3.
60+10x-18x=54
Subtract 18x from both sides.
60-8x=54
Combine 10x and -18x to get -8x.
-8x=54-60
Subtract 60 from both sides.
-8x=-6
Subtract 60 from 54 to get -6.
x=\frac{-6}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-6}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
