5\times 3\left(4x-2\right)=15\times 41x-6\times 3\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 6,2,5.
15\left(4x-2\right)=15\times 41x-6\times 3\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.
60x-30=15\times 41x-6\times 3\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by 4x-2.
60x-30=615x-18\left(x+1\right)
Multiply 15 and 41 to get 615. Multiply -6 and 3 to get -18.
60x-30=615x-18x-18
Use the distributive property to multiply -18 by x+1.
60x-30=597x-18
Combine 615x and -18x to get 597x.
60x-30-597x=-18
Subtract 597x from both sides.
-537x-30=-18
Combine 60x and -597x to get -537x.
-537x=-18+30
Add 30 to both sides.
-537x=12
Add -18 and 30 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{-537}
Divide both sides by -537.
x=-\frac{4}{179}
Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{-537} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
