Answer:

see below

Explanation:

3/5 ( x - 10 ) = 18 - 4x - 1

Combine like terms

3/5(x-10) = 17 -4x

Distribute

3/5x - 6 = 17 -4x

Add 6 to each side

3/5x -6+6 = 17 -4x+6

3/5x = 23 -4x

Add 4x to each side

3/5x +4x =23

Get a common denominator

3/5x + 20/5x =23

23/5 x =23

Multiply each side by 5/23 to isolate x

23/5x *5/23 = 23 * 5/23

x = 5
