kx^{2}+4kx+2x+4k+5=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 4k+2 by x.
kx^{2}+4kx+4k+5=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
kx^{2}+4kx+4k=-2x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\left(x^{2}+4x+4\right)k=-2x-5
Combine all terms containing k.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+4x+4\right)k}{x^{2}+4x+4}=\frac{-2x-5}{x^{2}+4x+4}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+4x+4.
k=\frac{-2x-5}{x^{2}+4x+4}
Dividing by x^{2}+4x+4 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+4x+4.
k=-\frac{2x+5}{\left(x+2\right)^{2}}
Divide -2x-5 by x^{2}+4x+4.
