    3/4 (2x + 5) = 5 (x + 12)

    First get rid of any fractions by multiplying my the denominator

    4 x 3/4 (2x + 5) = 4 x 5 (x + 12)

    3 (2x + 5) = 20 (x + 12)

    Then get rid of the parentheses

    6x + 15 = 20x + 240

    Then simplify

    6x + 15 - 15 = 20x + 240 - 15

    6x = 20x + 225

    6x - 20x = 20x - 20x + 225

    -14x = 225

    Now divide on both sides

    -14x/-14 = 225/-14

    x = - 16
