3\times 4+2=x+5
Variable x cannot be equal to -5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x+5\right), the least common multiple of x+5,3x+15,3.
12+2=x+5
Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.
14=x+5
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
x+5=14
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=14-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
x=9
Subtract 5 from 14 to get 9.
