\left(2\left(x+10\right)+3\right)\times 2.5=12x+1.5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
\left(2x+20+3\right)\times 2.5=12x+1.5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+10.
\left(2x+23\right)\times 2.5=12x+1.5
Add 20 and 3 to get 23.
5x+57.5=12x+1.5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+23 by 2.5.
5x+57.5-12x=1.5
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-7x+57.5=1.5
Combine 5x and -12x to get -7x.
-7x=1.5-57.5
Subtract 57.5 from both sides.
-7x=-56
Subtract 57.5 from 1.5 to get -56.
x=\frac{-56}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=8
Divide -56 by -7 to get 8.
