10\left(x-5\right)-5\left(3-x\right)=4x-5\left(2x-8\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 20, the least common multiple of 2,4,5.
10x-50-5\left(3-x\right)=4x-5\left(2x-8\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by x-5.
10x-50-15+5x=4x-5\left(2x-8\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 3-x.
10x-65+5x=4x-5\left(2x-8\right)
Subtract 15 from -50 to get -65.
15x-65=4x-5\left(2x-8\right)
Combine 10x and 5x to get 15x.
15x-65=4x-10x+40
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 2x-8.
15x-65=-6x+40
Combine 4x and -10x to get -6x.
15x-65+6x=40
Add 6x to both sides.
21x-65=40
Combine 15x and 6x to get 21x.
21x=40+65
Add 65 to both sides.
21x=105
Add 40 and 65 to get 105.
x=\frac{105}{21}
Divide both sides by 21.
x=5
Divide 105 by 21 to get 5.
