\left(x-3\right)\left(5x+13\right)-3\left(4x+5\right)=\left(5x-15\right)x
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 15\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of 15,5x-15,3.
5x^{2}-2x-39-3\left(4x+5\right)=\left(5x-15\right)x
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 5x+13 and combine like terms.
5x^{2}-2x-39-12x-15=\left(5x-15\right)x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 4x+5.
5x^{2}-14x-39-15=\left(5x-15\right)x
Combine -2x and -12x to get -14x.
5x^{2}-14x-54=\left(5x-15\right)x
Subtract 15 from -39 to get -54.
5x^{2}-14x-54=5x^{2}-15x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x-15 by x.
5x^{2}-14x-54-5x^{2}=-15x
Subtract 5x^{2} from both sides.
-14x-54=-15x
Combine 5x^{2} and -5x^{2} to get 0.
-14x-54+15x=0
Add 15x to both sides.
x-54=0
Combine -14x and 15x to get x.
x=54
Add 54 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
