2\left(6x+5\right)-\left(10x+3\right)=8x+2x+1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.
12x+10-\left(10x+3\right)=8x+2x+1
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 6x+5.
12x+10-10x-3=8x+2x+1
To find the opposite of 10x+3, find the opposite of each term.
2x+10-3=8x+2x+1
Combine 12x and -10x to get 2x.
2x+7=8x+2x+1
Subtract 3 from 10 to get 7.
2x+7=10x+1
Combine 8x and 2x to get 10x.
2x+7-10x=1
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-8x+7=1
Combine 2x and -10x to get -8x.
-8x=1-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-8x=-6
Subtract 7 from 1 to get -6.
x=\frac{-6}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=\frac{3}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-6}{-8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
