3x-2\left(x+1\right)=5\left(x+3\right)+2\left(2x+3\right)-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 10,5,2.
3x-2x-2=5\left(x+3\right)+2\left(2x+3\right)-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+1.
x-2=5\left(x+3\right)+2\left(2x+3\right)-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x-2=5x+15+2\left(2x+3\right)-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+3.
x-2=5x+15+4x+6-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+3.
x-2=9x+15+6-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Combine 5x and 4x to get 9x.
x-2=9x+21-\left(1\times 10+1\right)
Add 15 and 6 to get 21.
x-2=9x+21-\left(10+1\right)
Multiply 1 and 10 to get 10.
x-2=9x+21-11
Add 10 and 1 to get 11.
x-2=9x+10
Subtract 11 from 21 to get 10.
x-2-9x=10
Subtract 9x from both sides.
-8x-2=10
Combine x and -9x to get -8x.
-8x=10+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-8x=12
Add 10 and 2 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=-\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{12}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
