3\times 8+\left(x-3\right)\times 5-9-3x=0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -3,3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x^{2}-9,3x+9,3-x.
24+\left(x-3\right)\times 5-9-3x=0
Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.
24+5x-15-9-3x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 5.
9+5x-9-3x=0
Subtract 15 from 24 to get 9.
5x-3x=0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
2x=0
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
