-5\left(x+2\right)-30\left(\frac{x}{2}-2\right)=-20\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5.
-5x-10-30\left(\frac{x}{2}-2\right)=-20\left(x-\frac{5}{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x+2.
-5x-10-30\left(\frac{x}{2}-2\right)=-20x-20\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -20 by x-\frac{5}{2}.
-5x-10-30\left(\frac{x}{2}-2\right)=-20x+\frac{-20\left(-5\right)}{2}
