\(\frac{x+4}{x+5} = \frac{x-3}{2x + 8} - 7 \)
(x + 4) / (x + 5) = [ ( x -3) - 7(2x + 8)] / (2x + 8)
(x + 4) / (x + 5) = -[ 13x + 59 ] / (2x + 8)
(x + 4) / ( x + 5) + [ 13x + 59 ] / (2x + 8) = 0
(x + 4) (2x + 8) + (x + 5)(13x + 59) = 0
2x^2 + 16x + 32 + 13x^2 + 124x + 295 = 0
15x^2 + 140x + 327 = 0
x = [ -140 + sqrt [ 140^2 - 60*327 ] ]/ 30 =
[ -140 + sqrt (-20) ] / 30 =
[ -70 + i sqrt (5) ] / 15
And
x = [ -70 - i sqrt (5) ] / 15
