I assume you mean, (x-2)/(3x+5)=4?
If so, then the solution is simple. Multiply 3x+5 by 4, and distribute according to the left or right distributive property of the real numbers, this will give you x-2=12x+20. Subtract the 1x on the left from both sides, and the 20 on the right from both sides. This gives -22=11x.
Then divide by 11 on both sides to get -2=x, which is the same as x=-2 by the symmetric property.
The reason for subtraction and division on both sides is to ensure that you do not change the overall value, if I subtract from one side and not the other, then the value of the total equation changes. By performing the same operation on both sides, you are changing the equation by 0, the reason this works is the beauty of algebra, and the fact that x represents an unknown that you can play with.

Quotient and remainder of 3X4 plus 2X3 minus X2 minus x minus 6 divided by X2 plus 1?
(3x4 + 2x3 - x2 - x - 6)/(x2 + 1)= 3x2 + 2x - 4 + (-3x - 2)/(x2 + 1)= 3x2 + 2x - 4 - (3x + 2)/(x2 + 1)where the quotient is 3x2 + 2x - 4 and the remainder is -(3x + 2).
