75+x\times \frac{3}{4}=x
Subtract 5 from 80 to get 75.
75+x\times \frac{3}{4}-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
75-\frac{1}{4}x=0
Combine x\times \frac{3}{4} and -x to get -\frac{1}{4}x.
-\frac{1}{4}x=-75
Subtract 75 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-75\left(-4\right)
Multiply both sides by -4, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{4}.
x=300
Multiply -75 and -4 to get 300.
