x-1+\left(2x-2\right)\times 5=2x\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 0,1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x\left(x-1\right), the least common multiple of 2x,x,x-1.
x-1+10x-10=2x\times 3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-2 by 5.
11x-1-10=2x\times 3
Combine x and 10x to get 11x.
11x-11=2x\times 3
Subtract 10 from -1 to get -11.
11x-11=6x
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
11x-11-6x=0
Subtract 6x from both sides.
5x-11=0
Combine 11x and -6x to get 5x.
5x=11
Add 11 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{11}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
