1080x+480-135\times \frac{2\times 8x-5\times 3}{18}=150\left(30x-\frac{2}{15}\right)+24
Since \frac{2\times 8x}{18} and \frac{5\times 3}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
1080x+480-135\times \frac{16x-15}{18}=150\left(30x-\frac{2}{15}\right)+24
Do the multiplications in 2\times 8x-5\times 3.
1080x+480-\frac{135\left(16x-15\right)}{18}=150\left(30x-\frac{2}{15}\right)+24
Express 135\times \frac{16x-15}{18} as a single fraction.
1080x+480-\frac{2160x-2025}{18}=150\left(30x-\frac{2}{15}\right)+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 135 by 16x-15.
1080x+480-\frac{2160x-2025}{18}=4500x+150\left(-\frac{2}{15}\right)+24
Use the distributive property to multiply 150 by 30x-\frac{2}{15}.
1080x+480-\frac{2160x-2025}{18}=4500x+\frac{150\left(-2\right)}{15}+24
Express 150\left(-\frac{2}{15}\right) as a single fraction.
1080x+480-\frac{2160x-2025}{18}=4500x+\frac{-300}{15}+24
Multiply 150 and -2 to get -300.
1080x+480-\frac{2160x-2025}{18}=4500x-20+24
Divide -300 by 15 to get -20.
