The given expression is:

=

By cross multiplying we get:

(2x + 5)(x - 1) = (x + 3)(2x + 3)

Simplifying the above equation using the distributive property, we get:

=

Grouping all the terms we get:

3x - 5 - 9x - 9 = 0

-6x - 14 = 0

6x + 14 = 0

6x = -14

x = -14/6

x = -7/3

Thus, the solution.
