\left(3x+5\right)x+2\left(-2x+1\right)=3x^{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{5}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x+5.
3x^{2}+5x+2\left(-2x+1\right)=3x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x+5 by x.
3x^{2}+5x-4x+2=3x^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -2x+1.
3x^{2}+x+2=3x^{2}
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
3x^{2}+x+2-3x^{2}=0
Subtract 3x^{2} from both sides.
x+2=0
Combine 3x^{2} and -3x^{2} to get 0.
x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
