First, we want to get rid of the nasty fractions. 

Let's do this by multiplying both sides by the LCM of the denominators. 

By doing this, we have

10(x+4)=5(x3)(x+5)+2(x+7)(x+5)

 

Distributing every number in and moving all terms to one side, we have

7x2+24x45=0

 

Using the quadratic equation and finding what x is, we have

x=351127x=351127

 

Thanks! :)
