4\times \frac{5}{6}=5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x, the least common multiple of x,4.
\frac{4\times 5}{6}=5x
Express 4\times \frac{5}{6} as a single fraction.
\frac{20}{6}=5x
Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.
\frac{10}{3}=5x
Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
5x=\frac{10}{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{10}{3\times 5}
Express \frac{\frac{10}{3}}{5} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{10}{15}
Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.
x=\frac{2}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
