4\times 25=3\left(2x+5\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{5}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(2x+5\right), the least common multiple of 2x+5,4.
100=3\left(2x+5\right)
Multiply 4 and 25 to get 100.
100=6x+15
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x+5.
6x+15=100
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
6x=100-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
6x=85
Subtract 15 from 100 to get 85.
x=\frac{85}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
