k\left(2x-3\right)+15\left(3x-7\right)=-25
Multiply both sides of the equation by -5.
2kx-3k+15\left(3x-7\right)=-25
Use the distributive property to multiply k by 2x-3.
2kx-3k+45x-105=-25
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by 3x-7.
2kx-3k-105=-25-45x
Subtract 45x from both sides.
2kx-3k=-25-45x+105
Add 105 to both sides.
2kx-3k=80-45x
Add -25 and 105 to get 80.
\left(2x-3\right)k=80-45x
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(2x-3\right)k}{2x-3}=\frac{80-45x}{2x-3}
Divide both sides by 2x-3.
k=\frac{80-45x}{2x-3}
Dividing by 2x-3 undoes the multiplication by 2x-3.
k=\frac{5\left(16-9x\right)}{2x-3}
Divide -45x+80 by 2x-3.
k\left(2x-3\right)+15\left(3x-7\right)=-25
Multiply both sides of the equation by -5.
2kx-3k+15\left(3x-7\right)=-25
Use the distributive property to multiply k by 2x-3.
2kx-3k+45x-105=-25
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by 3x-7.
2kx+45x-105=-25+3k
Add 3k to both sides.
2kx+45x=-25+3k+105
Add 105 to both sides.
2kx+45x=80+3k
Add -25 and 105 to get 80.
\left(2k+45\right)x=80+3k
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(2k+45\right)x=3k+80
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2k+45\right)x}{2k+45}=\frac{3k+80}{2k+45}
Divide both sides by 2k+45.
x=\frac{3k+80}{2k+45}
Dividing by 2k+45 undoes the multiplication by 2k+45.
