Answer:

x =
(12)/(5)

Explanation:

Multiply all terms in the equation by the lowest common multiple of 3 and 5, that is 15. This will eliminate the fractions in the equation

10(1 - 2x) - 30x = - 6 + 20(2 - 3x) ← distribute and simplify both sides

10 - 20x - 30x = - 6 + 40 - 60x

10 - 50x = 34 - 60x ( add 60x to both sides )

10 + 10x = 34 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

10x = 24 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x =
(24)/(10) =
(12)/(5)
