5+5x\times \frac{4}{5}=30x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x, the least common multiple of x,5.
5+4x=30x
Cancel out 5 and 5.
5+4x-30x=0
Subtract 30x from both sides.
5-26x=0
Combine 4x and -30x to get -26x.
-26x=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-5}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=\frac{5}{26}
Fraction \frac{-5}{-26} can be simplified to \frac{5}{26} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
