Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2,10.
8\left(3x-7\right)-5\left(7x-3\right)+x=30\left(4-5x\right)
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
24x-56-5\left(7x-3\right)+x=30\left(4-5x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 3x-7.
24x-56-35x+15+x=30\left(4-5x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 7x-3.
-11x-56+15+x=30\left(4-5x\right)
Combine 24x and -35x to get -11x.
-11x-41+x=30\left(4-5x\right)
Add -56 and 15 to get -41.
-10x-41=30\left(4-5x\right)
Combine -11x and x to get -10x.
-10x-41=120-150x
Use the distributive property to multiply 30 by 4-5x.
-10x-41+150x=120
Add 150x to both sides.
140x-41=120
Combine -10x and 150x to get 140x.
140x=120+41
Add 41 to both sides.
140x=161
Add 120 and 41 to get 161.
x=\frac{161}{140}
Divide both sides by 140.
x=\frac{23}{20}
Reduce the fraction \frac{161}{140} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.
