30x\times \frac{11}{5}-15\left(x-20\right)=10\left(2x-1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 30x, the least common multiple of 5,2x,3x.
66x-15\left(x-20\right)=10\left(2x-1\right)
Multiply 30 and \frac{11}{5} to get 66.
66x-15x+300=10\left(2x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -15 by x-20.
51x+300=10\left(2x-1\right)
Combine 66x and -15x to get 51x.
51x+300=20x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by 2x-1.
51x+300-20x=-10
Subtract 20x from both sides.
31x+300=-10
Combine 51x and -20x to get 31x.
31x=-10-300
Subtract 300 from both sides.
31x=-310
Subtract 300 from -10 to get -310.
x=\frac{-310}{31}
Divide both sides by 31.
x=-10
Divide -310 by 31 to get -10.
