6x+3\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)+2\left(\frac{1}{4}x-5\right)=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-\frac{1}{3}.
6x-1+2\left(\frac{1}{4}x-5\right)=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Cancel out 3 and 3.
6x-1+2\times \frac{1}{4}x-10=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by \frac{1}{4}x-5.
6x-1+\frac{2}{4}x-10=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{2}{4}.
6x-1+\frac{1}{2}x-10=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
\frac{13}{2}x-1-10=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Combine 6x and \frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{13}{2}x.
\frac{13}{2}x-11=\frac{1}{4}-3x
Subtract 10 from -1 to get -11.
\frac{13}{2}x-11+3x=\frac{1}{4}
Add 3x to both sides.
\frac{19}{2}x-11=\frac{1}{4}
Combine \frac{13}{2}x and 3x to get \frac{19}{2}x.
\frac{19}{2}x=\frac{1}{4}+11
Add 11 to both sides.
\frac{19}{2}x=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{44}{4}
Convert 11 to fraction \frac{44}{4}.
\frac{19}{2}x=\frac{1+44}{4}
Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{44}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{19}{2}x=\frac{45}{4}
Add 1 and 44 to get 45.
x=\frac{45}{4}\times \frac{2}{19}
Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{19}, the reciprocal of \frac{19}{2}.
x=\frac{45\times 2}{4\times 19}
Multiply \frac{45}{4} times \frac{2}{19} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{90}{76}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{45\times 2}{4\times 19}.
x=\frac{45}{38}
Reduce the fraction \frac{90}{76} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
