2\left(1-5x\right)=15x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of 3x,2.
2-10x=15x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 1-5x.
2-10x-15x=0
Subtract 15x from both sides.
2-25x=0
Combine -10x and -15x to get -25x.
-25x=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-2}{-25}
Divide both sides by -25.
x=\frac{2}{25}
Fraction \frac{-2}{-25} can be simplified to \frac{2}{25} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
