10\left(5x-1\right)=3\left(10x+2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 3,10.
50x-10=3\left(10x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by 5x-1.
50x-10=30x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 10x+2.
50x-10-30x=6
Subtract 30x from both sides.
20x-10=6
Combine 50x and -30x to get 20x.
20x=6+10
Add 10 to both sides.
20x=16
Add 6 and 10 to get 16.
x=\frac{16}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=\frac{4}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
