6\left(x+4\right)-30\left(x-5\right)=10\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 30, the least common multiple of 5,3,6.
6x+24-30\left(x-5\right)=10\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x+4.
6x+24-30x+150=10\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -30 by x-5.
-24x+24+150=10\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-2\right)
Combine 6x and -30x to get -24x.
-24x+174=10\left(x+3\right)-5\left(x-2\right)
Add 24 and 150 to get 174.
-24x+174=10x+30-5\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by x+3.
-24x+174=10x+30-5x+10
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x-2.
-24x+174=5x+30+10
Combine 10x and -5x to get 5x.
-24x+174=5x+40
Add 30 and 10 to get 40.
-24x+174-5x=40
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-29x+174=40
Combine -24x and -5x to get -29x.
-29x=40-174
Subtract 174 from both sides.
-29x=-134
Subtract 174 from 40 to get -134.
x=\frac{-134}{-29}
Divide both sides by -29.
x=\frac{134}{29}
Fraction \frac{-134}{-29} can be simplified to \frac{134}{29} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
