30-2\left(4+3x\right)=5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
30-8-6x=5x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 4+3x.
22-6x=5x
Subtract 8 from 30 to get 22.
22-6x-5x=0
Subtract 5x from both sides.
22-11x=0
Combine -6x and -5x to get -11x.
-11x=-22
Subtract 22 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-22}{-11}
Divide both sides by -11.
x=2
Divide -22 by -11 to get 2.
