18x-3\left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{5}{1}\right)=60+4x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
18x-3\left(\frac{x}{2}+5\right)=60+4x
Anything divided by one gives itself.
18x-3\left(\frac{x}{2}+5\right)-4x=60
Subtract 4x from both sides.
2\left(18x-3\left(\frac{x}{2}+5\right)\right)-8x=120
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4\left(18x-3\left(\frac{x}{2}+5\right)\right)-16x=240
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
4\left(18x-3\times \frac{x}{2}-15\right)-16x=240
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by \frac{x}{2}+5.
4\left(18x+\frac{-3x}{2}-15\right)-16x=240
Express -3\times \frac{x}{2} as a single fraction.
72x+4\times \frac{-3x}{2}-60-16x=240
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 18x+\frac{-3x}{2}-15.
72x+2\left(-3\right)x-60-16x=240
Cancel out 2, the greatest common factor in 4 and 2.
72x-6x-60-16x=240
Multiply 2 and -3 to get -6.
66x-60-16x=240
Combine 72x and -6x to get 66x.
50x-60=240
Combine 66x and -16x to get 50x.
50x=240+60
Add 60 to both sides.
50x=300
Add 240 and 60 to get 300.
x=\frac{300}{50}
Divide both sides by 50.
x=6
Divide 300 by 50 to get 6.
