x\left(5x+7\right)=5x^{2}+8x+4
Cancel out 4 on both sides.
5x^{2}+7x=5x^{2}+8x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 5x+7.
5x^{2}+7x-5x^{2}=8x+4
Subtract 5x^{2} from both sides.
7x=8x+4
Combine 5x^{2} and -5x^{2} to get 0.
7x-8x=4
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-x=4
Combine 7x and -8x to get -x.
x=-4
Multiply both sides by -1.
