-5\times 3x-10x=x-12
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,10,5.
-15x-10x=x-12
Multiply -5 and 3 to get -15.
-25x=x-12
Combine -15x and -10x to get -25x.
-25x-x=-12
Subtract x from both sides.
-26x=-12
Combine -25x and -x to get -26x.
x=\frac{-12}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=\frac{6}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-12}{-26} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
