\left(x+3\right)\times 2+\left(x-3\right)\times 5=0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -3,3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x-3,x+3.
2x+6+\left(x-3\right)\times 5=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by 2.
2x+6+5x-15=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 5.
7x+6-15=0
Combine 2x and 5x to get 7x.
7x-9=0
Subtract 15 from 6 to get -9.
7x=9
Add 9 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{9}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
