A\left(-4x-5\right)=3x+2
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{5}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -4x-5.
-4Ax-5A=3x+2
Use the distributive property to multiply A by -4x-5.
-4Ax-5A-3x=2
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4Ax-3x=2+5A
Add 5A to both sides.
\left(-4A-3\right)x=2+5A
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-4A-3\right)x=5A+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-4A-3\right)x}{-4A-3}=\frac{5A+2}{-4A-3}
Divide both sides by -4A-3.
x=\frac{5A+2}{-4A-3}
Dividing by -4A-3 undoes the multiplication by -4A-3.
x=-\frac{5A+2}{4A+3}
Divide 5A+2 by -4A-3.
x=-\frac{5A+2}{4A+3}\text{, }x\neq -\frac{5}{4}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{5}{4}.
