6\left(2x+1\right)-6\left(2x+5\right)=60+5\left(x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 5,6.
12x+6-6\left(2x+5\right)=60+5\left(x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2x+1.
12x+6-12x-30=60+5\left(x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -6 by 2x+5.
6-30=60+5\left(x-1\right)
Combine 12x and -12x to get 0.
-24=60+5\left(x-1\right)
Subtract 30 from 6 to get -24.
-24=60+5x-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-1.
-24=55+5x
Subtract 5 from 60 to get 55.
55+5x=-24
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x=-24-55
Subtract 55 from both sides.
5x=-79
Subtract 55 from -24 to get -79.
x=\frac{-79}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=-\frac{79}{5}
Fraction \frac{-79}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{79}{5} by extracting the negative sign.
