2k\times \left(\frac{2x+5}{3x}\right)^{2}=k+7
Variable k cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2k.
2k\times \frac{\left(2x+5\right)^{2}}{\left(3x\right)^{2}}=k+7
To raise \frac{2x+5}{3x} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{2\left(2x+5\right)^{2}}{\left(3x\right)^{2}}k=k+7
Express 2\times \frac{\left(2x+5\right)^{2}}{\left(3x\right)^{2}} as a single fraction.
\frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)}{\left(3x\right)^{2}}k=k+7
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2x+5\right)^{2}.
\frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)}{3^{2}x^{2}}k=k+7
Expand \left(3x\right)^{2}.
\frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)}{9x^{2}}k=k+7
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
\frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)k}{9x^{2}}=k+7
Express \frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)}{9x^{2}}k as a single fraction.
\frac{2\left(4x^{2}+20x+25\right)k}{9x^{2}}-k=7
Subtract k from both sides.
\frac{\left(8x^{2}+40x+50\right)k}{9x^{2}}-k=7
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x^{2}+20x+25.
\frac{8x^{2}k+40xk+50k}{9x^{2}}-k=7
Use the distributive property to multiply 8x^{2}+40x+50 by k.
\frac{8x^{2}k+40xk+50k}{9x^{2}}-\frac{k\times 9x^{2}}{9x^{2}}=7
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply k times \frac{9x^{2}}{9x^{2}}.
\frac{8x^{2}k+40xk+50k-k\times 9x^{2}}{9x^{2}}=7
Since \frac{8x^{2}k+40xk+50k}{9x^{2}} and \frac{k\times 9x^{2}}{9x^{2}} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{8x^{2}k+40xk+50k-9x^{2}k}{9x^{2}}=7
Do the multiplications in 8x^{2}k+40xk+50k-k\times 9x^{2}.
\frac{50k-x^{2}k+40xk}{9x^{2}}=7
Combine like terms in 8x^{2}k+40xk+50k-9x^{2}k.
50k-x^{2}k+40xk=63x^{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9x^{2}.
\left(50-x^{2}+40x\right)k=63x^{2}
Combine all terms containing k.
\left(50+40x-x^{2}\right)k=63x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(50+40x-x^{2}\right)k}{50+40x-x^{2}}=\frac{63x^{2}}{50+40x-x^{2}}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}+40x+50.
k=\frac{63x^{2}}{50+40x-x^{2}}
Dividing by -x^{2}+40x+50 undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}+40x+50.
k=\frac{63x^{2}}{50+40x-x^{2}}\text{, }k\neq 0
Variable k cannot be equal to 0.
