6\times 3\left(2-x\right)+2x=60-5\left(3-4x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 5,15,6.
18\left(2-x\right)+2x=60-5\left(3-4x\right)
Multiply 6 and 3 to get 18.
36-18x+2x=60-5\left(3-4x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 18 by 2-x.
36-16x=60-5\left(3-4x\right)
Combine -18x and 2x to get -16x.
36-16x=60-15+20x
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 3-4x.
36-16x=45+20x
Subtract 15 from 60 to get 45.
36-16x-20x=45
Subtract 20x from both sides.
36-36x=45
Combine -16x and -20x to get -36x.
-36x=45-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-36x=9
Subtract 36 from 45 to get 9.
x=\frac{9}{-36}
Divide both sides by -36.
x=-\frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{9}{-36} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.
