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
