Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
6\left(2x-2\times 5\right)-20x+20\times 5=5\left(2-x\right)
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
6\left(2x-10\right)-20x+20\times 5=5\left(2-x\right)
Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.
12x-60-20x+20\times 5=5\left(2-x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2x-10.
-8x-60+20\times 5=5\left(2-x\right)
Combine 12x and -20x to get -8x.
-8x-60+100=5\left(2-x\right)
Multiply 20 and 5 to get 100.
-8x+40=5\left(2-x\right)
