5\left(5x-3\right)-10=2\left(3x+1\right)-\left(x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5,10.
25x-15-10=2\left(3x+1\right)-\left(x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 5x-3.
25x-25=2\left(3x+1\right)-\left(x-1\right)
Subtract 10 from -15 to get -25.
25x-25=6x+2-\left(x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x+1.
25x-25=6x+2-x-\left(-1\right)
To find the opposite of x-1, find the opposite of each term.
25x-25=6x+2-x+1
The opposite of -1 is 1.
25x-25=5x+2+1
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
25x-25=5x+3
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
25x-25-5x=3
Subtract 5x from both sides.
20x-25=3
Combine 25x and -5x to get 20x.
20x=3+25
Add 25 to both sides.
20x=28
Add 3 and 25 to get 28.
x=\frac{28}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=\frac{7}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{28}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
