24\left(3x-1\right)-20\left(5x+1\right)=15\left(x+1\right)-360
Multiply both sides of the equation by 120, the least common multiple of 5,6,8.
72x-24-20\left(5x+1\right)=15\left(x+1\right)-360
Use the distributive property to multiply 24 by 3x-1.
72x-24-100x-20=15\left(x+1\right)-360
Use the distributive property to multiply -20 by 5x+1.
-28x-24-20=15\left(x+1\right)-360
Combine 72x and -100x to get -28x.
-28x-44=15\left(x+1\right)-360
Subtract 20 from -24 to get -44.
-28x-44=15x+15-360
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by x+1.
-28x-44=15x-345
Subtract 360 from 15 to get -345.
-28x-44-15x=-345
Subtract 15x from both sides.
-43x-44=-345
Combine -28x and -15x to get -43x.
-43x=-345+44
Add 44 to both sides.
-43x=-301
Add -345 and 44 to get -301.
x=\frac{-301}{-43}
Divide both sides by -43.
x=7
Divide -301 by -43 to get 7.
