Answer:


\huge \boxed{x = - 1}

Explanation:


(2x - 10)/(4) = 3x \\

Multiply through by 4 to eliminate the fraction

That's


4 * (2x - 10)/(4) = 4(3x) \\ 2x - 10 = 12x

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation


2x - 12x - 10 = 0 \\ - 10x - 10 = 0 \\ - 10x = 10

Divide both sides by - 10


( - 10x)/( - 10) = (10)/( - 10) \\

We have the final answer as

x = - 1

Hope this helps you
