y\times 2\left(x+5\right)=-3x
Variable x cannot be equal to -5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x+5\right).
2yx+5y\times 2=-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply y\times 2 by x+5.
2yx+10y=-3x
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
2yx+10y+3x=0
Add 3x to both sides.
2yx+3x=-10y
Subtract 10y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(2y+3\right)x=-10y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(2y+3\right)x}{2y+3}=-\frac{10y}{2y+3}
Divide both sides by 2y+3.
x=-\frac{10y}{2y+3}
Dividing by 2y+3 undoes the multiplication by 2y+3.
x=-\frac{10y}{2y+3}\text{, }x\neq -5
Variable x cannot be equal to -5.
