2x\times 4-\left(2x-1\right)\times 3=\left(2x-1\right)\times 5
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 0,\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x\left(2x-1\right), the least common multiple of 2x-1,2x.
8x-\left(2x-1\right)\times 3=\left(2x-1\right)\times 5
Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.
8x-\left(6x-3\right)=\left(2x-1\right)\times 5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by 3.
8x-6x+3=\left(2x-1\right)\times 5
To find the opposite of 6x-3, find the opposite of each term.
2x+3=\left(2x-1\right)\times 5
Combine 8x and -6x to get 2x.
2x+3=10x-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by 5.
2x+3-10x=-5
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-8x+3=-5
Combine 2x and -10x to get -8x.
-8x=-5-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-8x=-8
Subtract 3 from -5 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=1
Divide -8 by -8 to get 1.
