\frac{2}{5}+5x-6=\frac{2}{3}-5+10x-15
Multiply \frac{1}{5} and 2 to get \frac{2}{5}.
\frac{2}{5}+5x-\frac{30}{5}=\frac{2}{3}-5+10x-15
Convert 6 to fraction \frac{30}{5}.
\frac{2-30}{5}+5x=\frac{2}{3}-5+10x-15
Since \frac{2}{5} and \frac{30}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=\frac{2}{3}-5+10x-15
Subtract 30 from 2 to get -28.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{15}{3}+10x-15
Convert 5 to fraction \frac{15}{3}.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=\frac{2-15}{3}+10x-15
Since \frac{2}{3} and \frac{15}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=-\frac{13}{3}+10x-15
Subtract 15 from 2 to get -13.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=-\frac{13}{3}+10x-\frac{45}{3}
Convert 15 to fraction \frac{45}{3}.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=\frac{-13-45}{3}+10x
Since -\frac{13}{3} and \frac{45}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x=-\frac{58}{3}+10x
Subtract 45 from -13 to get -58.
-\frac{28}{5}+5x-10x=-\frac{58}{3}
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-\frac{28}{5}-5x=-\frac{58}{3}
Combine 5x and -10x to get -5x.
-5x=-\frac{58}{3}+\frac{28}{5}
Add \frac{28}{5} to both sides.
-5x=-\frac{290}{15}+\frac{84}{15}
Least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert -\frac{58}{3} and \frac{28}{5} to fractions with denominator 15.
-5x=\frac{-290+84}{15}
Since -\frac{290}{15} and \frac{84}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
-5x=-\frac{206}{15}
Add -290 and 84 to get -206.
x=\frac{-\frac{206}{15}}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{-206}{15\left(-5\right)}
Express \frac{-\frac{206}{15}}{-5} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-206}{-75}
Multiply 15 and -5 to get -75.
x=\frac{206}{75}
Fraction \frac{-206}{-75} can be simplified to \frac{206}{75} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
