\left(35-x\right)\left(4-6\right)=\left(x-30\right)\left(6-10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values 30,35 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-35\right)\left(x-30\right), the least common multiple of 30-x,x-35.
\left(35-x\right)\left(-2\right)=\left(x-30\right)\left(6-10\right)
Subtract 6 from 4 to get -2.
-70+2x=\left(x-30\right)\left(6-10\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 35-x by -2.
-70+2x=\left(x-30\right)\left(-4\right)
Subtract 10 from 6 to get -4.
-70+2x=-4x+120
Use the distributive property to multiply x-30 by -4.
-70+2x+4x=120
Add 4x to both sides.
-70+6x=120
Combine 2x and 4x to get 6x.
6x=120+70
Add 70 to both sides.
6x=190
Add 120 and 70 to get 190.
x=\frac{190}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{95}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{190}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
