4\times \frac{1}{2}x+4\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by \frac{1}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}.
\frac{4}{2}x+4\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Multiply 4 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{4}{2}.
2x+4\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.
2x+\frac{4\left(-3\right)}{2}-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Express 4\left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) as a single fraction.
2x+\frac{-12}{2}-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Multiply 4 and -3 to get -12.
2x-6-\left(\frac{3}{5}-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
Divide -12 by 2 to get -6.
2x-6-\frac{3}{5}-\left(-x\right)=\frac{4}{5}x
To find the opposite of \frac{3}{5}-x, find the opposite of each term.
2x-6-\frac{3}{5}+x=\frac{4}{5}x
The opposite of -x is x.
2x-\frac{30}{5}-\frac{3}{5}+x=\frac{4}{5}x
Convert -6 to fraction -\frac{30}{5}.
2x+\frac{-30-3}{5}+x=\frac{4}{5}x
Since -\frac{30}{5} and \frac{3}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
2x-\frac{33}{5}+x=\frac{4}{5}x
Subtract 3 from -30 to get -33.
3x-\frac{33}{5}=\frac{4}{5}x
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
3x-\frac{33}{5}-\frac{4}{5}x=0
Subtract \frac{4}{5}x from both sides.
\frac{11}{5}x-\frac{33}{5}=0
Combine 3x and -\frac{4}{5}x to get \frac{11}{5}x.
\frac{11}{5}x=\frac{33}{5}
Add \frac{33}{5} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{33}{5}\times \frac{5}{11}
Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{11}, the reciprocal of \frac{11}{5}.
x=\frac{33\times 5}{5\times 11}
Multiply \frac{33}{5} times \frac{5}{11} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{33}{11}
Cancel out 5 in both numerator and denominator.
x=3
Divide 33 by 11 to get 3.
