5\left(4-2x\right)=4\times 3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 4,5.
20-10x=4\times 3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 4-2x.
20-10x=12x
Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.
20-10x-12x=0
Subtract 12x from both sides.
20-22x=0
Combine -10x and -12x to get -22x.
-22x=-20
Subtract 20 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-20}{-22}
Divide both sides by -22.
x=\frac{10}{11}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-20}{-22} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
