-\frac{3}{20}x-8=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{4}x+2
Combine \frac{3}{4}x and -\frac{9}{10}x to get -\frac{3}{20}x.
-\frac{3}{20}x-8=\frac{7}{12}x+2
Combine \frac{1}{3}x and \frac{1}{4}x to get \frac{7}{12}x.
-\frac{3}{20}x-8-\frac{7}{12}x=2
Subtract \frac{7}{12}x from both sides.
-\frac{11}{15}x-8=2
Combine -\frac{3}{20}x and -\frac{7}{12}x to get -\frac{11}{15}x.
-\frac{11}{15}x=2+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-\frac{11}{15}x=10
Add 2 and 8 to get 10.
x=10\left(-\frac{15}{11}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{15}{11}, the reciprocal of -\frac{11}{15}.
x=\frac{10\left(-15\right)}{11}
Express 10\left(-\frac{15}{11}\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-150}{11}
Multiply 10 and -15 to get -150.
x=-\frac{150}{11}
Fraction \frac{-150}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{150}{11} by extracting the negative sign.
