2mx-5\left(x-1\right)=10m-20
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
2mx-5x+5=10m-20
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x-1.
2mx-5x+5-10m=-20
Subtract 10m from both sides.
2mx+5-10m=-20+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
2mx-10m=-20+5x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2mx-10m=-25+5x
Subtract 5 from -20 to get -25.
\left(2x-10\right)m=-25+5x
Combine all terms containing m.
\left(2x-10\right)m=5x-25
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x-10\right)m}{2x-10}=\frac{5x-25}{2x-10}
