8x+20=3\left(5x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+5.
8x+20=15x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 5x-2.
8x+20-15x=-6
Subtract 15x from both sides.
-7x+20=-6
Combine 8x and -15x to get -7x.
-7x=-6-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
-7x=-26
Subtract 20 from -6 to get -26.
x=\frac{-26}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=\frac{26}{7}
Fraction \frac{-26}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{26}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
