25\left(x-3\right)\times 1+\left(x+3\right)\times 4=8
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 \left(x-3\right)\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x+3,x-3,x^{2}-9.
25\left(x-3\right)+\left(x+3\right)\times 4=8
Multiply 25 and 1 to get 25.
25x-75+\left(x+3\right)\times 4=8
Use the distributive property to multiply 25 by x-3.
25x-75+4x+12=8
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by 4.
29x-75+12=8
Combine 25x and 4x to get 29x.
29x-63=8
Add -75 and 12 to get -63.
29x=8+63
Add 63 to both sides.
29x=71
Add 8 and 63 to get 71.
x=\frac{71}{29}
Divide both sides by 29.
