5\left(5x-12\right)=6x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 10x, the least common multiple of 2x,5.
25x-60=6x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 5x-12.
25x-60-6x=0
Subtract 6x from both sides.
19x-60=0
Combine 25x and -6x to get 19x.
19x=60
Add 60 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{60}{19}
Divide both sides by 19.
