12\left(2x_{3}+1\right)+15\left(5-x\right)=60-10\left(38+2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 60, the least common multiple of 5,4,6.
24x_{3}+12+15\left(5-x\right)=60-10\left(38+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by 2x_{3}+1.
24x_{3}+12+75-15x=60-10\left(38+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by 5-x.
24x_{3}+87-15x=60-10\left(38+2\right)
Add 12 and 75 to get 87.
24x_{3}+87-15x=60-10\times 40
Add 38 and 2 to get 40.
24x_{3}+87-15x=60-400
Multiply -10 and 40 to get -400.
24x_{3}+87-15x=-340
Subtract 400 from 60 to get -340.
87-15x=-340-24x_{3}
Subtract 24x_{3} from both sides.
-15x=-340-24x_{3}-87
Subtract 87 from both sides.
-15x=-427-24x_{3}
Subtract 87 from -340 to get -427.
-15x=-24x_{3}-427
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-15x}{-15}=\frac{-24x_{3}-427}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
x=\frac{-24x_{3}-427}{-15}
Dividing by -15 undoes the multiplication by -15.
x=\frac{8x_{3}}{5}+\frac{427}{15}
Divide -427-24x_{3} by -15.
