36\left(\frac{x-1}{3}+1\right)+60x=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 60, the least common multiple of 5,3,4.
36\times \frac{x-1}{3}+36+60x=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 36 by \frac{x-1}{3}+1.
12\left(x-1\right)+36+60x=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Cancel out 3, the greatest common factor in 36 and 3.
12x-12+36+60x=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by x-1.
12x+24+60x=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Add -12 and 36 to get 24.
72x+24=45\left(x-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Combine 12x and 60x to get 72x.
72x+24=45x+45\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 45 by x-\frac{2}{3}.
72x+24=45x+\frac{45\left(-2\right)}{3}
Express 45\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) as a single fraction.
72x+24=45x+\frac{-90}{3}
Multiply 45 and -2 to get -90.
72x+24=45x-30
Divide -90 by 3 to get -30.
72x+24-45x=-30
Subtract 45x from both sides.
27x+24=-30
Combine 72x and -45x to get 27x.
27x=-30-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
27x=-54
Subtract 24 from -30 to get -54.
x=\frac{-54}{27}
Divide both sides by 27.
x=-2
Divide -54 by 27 to get -2.
