3x+5+25x-20=9\left(4x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 5x-4.
28x+5-20=9\left(4x+5\right)
Combine 3x and 25x to get 28x.
28x-15=9\left(4x+5\right)
Subtract 20 from 5 to get -15.
28x-15=36x+45
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 4x+5.
28x-15-36x=45
Subtract 36x from both sides.
-8x-15=45
Combine 28x and -36x to get -8x.
-8x=45+15
Add 15 to both sides.
-8x=60
Add 45 and 15 to get 60.
x=\frac{60}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=-\frac{15}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
