x-1=10x+20
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x+4.
x-1-10x=20
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-9x-1=20
Combine x and -10x to get -9x.
-9x=20+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-9x=21
Add 20 and 1 to get 21.
x=\frac{21}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
x=-\frac{7}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{21}{-9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
