\left(x+3\right)\times 2500\times 2=x\times 2000
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -3,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x,x+3.
\left(x+3\right)\times 5000=x\times 2000
Multiply 2500 and 2 to get 5000.
5000x+15000=x\times 2000
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by 5000.
5000x+15000-x\times 2000=0
Subtract x\times 2000 from both sides.
3000x+15000=0
Combine 5000x and -x\times 2000 to get 3000x.
3000x=-15000
Subtract 15000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-15000}{3000}
Divide both sides by 3000.
x=-5
Divide -15000 by 3000 to get -5.
