24\times 7-12\times 3=11\left(x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 120\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of 5x+5,10x+10,120.
168-36=11\left(x+1\right)
Do the multiplications.
132=11\left(x+1\right)
Subtract 36 from 168 to get 132.
132=11x+11
Use the distributive property to multiply 11 by x+1.
11x+11=132
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
11x=132-11
Subtract 11 from both sides.
11x=121
Subtract 11 from 132 to get 121.
x=\frac{121}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=11
Divide 121 by 11 to get 11.
