\left(x+5\right)\times 4+\left(x+6\right)\times 3=\left(x-4\right)\times 4
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -6,-5,4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-4\right)\left(x+5\right)\left(x+6\right), the least common multiple of x^{2}+2x-24,x^{2}+x-20,x^{2}+11x+30.
4x+20+\left(x+6\right)\times 3=\left(x-4\right)\times 4
Use the distributive property to multiply x+5 by 4.
4x+20+3x+18=\left(x-4\right)\times 4
Use the distributive property to multiply x+6 by 3.
7x+20+18=\left(x-4\right)\times 4
Combine 4x and 3x to get 7x.
7x+38=\left(x-4\right)\times 4
Add 20 and 18 to get 38.
7x+38=4x-16
Use the distributive property to multiply x-4 by 4.
7x+38-4x=-16
Subtract 4x from both sides.
3x+38=-16
Combine 7x and -4x to get 3x.
3x=-16-38
Subtract 38 from both sides.
3x=-54
Subtract 38 from -16 to get -54.
x=\frac{-54}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-18
Divide -54 by 3 to get -18.
