r\left(5x+4\right)=27-1+\left(5x+4\right)\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{4}{5} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x+4.
5rx+4r=27-1+\left(5x+4\right)\times 3
Use the distributive property to multiply r by 5x+4.
5rx+4r=26+\left(5x+4\right)\times 3
Subtract 1 from 27 to get 26.
5rx+4r=26+15x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x+4 by 3.
5rx+4r=38+15x
Add 26 and 12 to get 38.
5rx+4r-15x=38
Subtract 15x from both sides.
5rx-15x=38-4r
Subtract 4r from both sides.
\left(5r-15\right)x=38-4r
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5r-15\right)x}{5r-15}=\frac{38-4r}{5r-15}
Divide both sides by 5r-15.
x=\frac{38-4r}{5r-15}
Dividing by 5r-15 undoes the multiplication by 5r-15.
x=\frac{2\left(19-2r\right)}{5\left(r-3\right)}
Divide 38-4r by 5r-15.
x=\frac{2\left(19-2r\right)}{5\left(r-3\right)}\text{, }x\neq -\frac{4}{5}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{4}{5}.
