45-5\left(2x-1\right)=3\left(4-3x\right)-15x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.
45-10x+5=3\left(4-3x\right)-15x
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 2x-1.
50-10x=3\left(4-3x\right)-15x
Add 45 and 5 to get 50.
50-10x=12-9x-15x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4-3x.
50-10x=12-24x
Combine -9x and -15x to get -24x.
50-10x+24x=12
Add 24x to both sides.
50+14x=12
Combine -10x and 24x to get 14x.
14x=12-50
Subtract 50 from both sides.
14x=-38
Subtract 50 from 12 to get -38.
x=\frac{-38}{14}
Divide both sides by 14.
x=-\frac{19}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-38}{14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
