5\times \frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{20}=\frac{25-x}{2\times 10}+\frac{7\times 10}{2\times 10}
Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x}{2\times 10}+\frac{7\times 10}{2\times 10}
Cancel out 20, the greatest common factor in 5 and 20.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x}{20}+\frac{7\times 10}{2\times 10}
Multiply 2 and 10 to get 20.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x}{20}+\frac{7}{2}
Cancel out 2\times 5 in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x}{20}+\frac{7\times 10}{20}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 20 and 2 is 20. Multiply \frac{7}{2} times \frac{10}{10}.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x+7\times 10}{20}
Since \frac{25-x}{20} and \frac{7\times 10}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{25-x+70}{20}
Do the multiplications in 25-x+7\times 10.
\frac{3\left(x-1\right)}{4}=\frac{95-x}{20}
Combine like terms in 25-x+70.
\frac{3x-3}{4}=\frac{95-x}{20}
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-1.
\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{95-x}{20}
Divide each term of 3x-3 by 4 to get \frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}.
\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{20}x
Divide each term of 95-x by 20 to get \frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{20}x.
\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{20}x=\frac{19}{4}
Add \frac{1}{20}x to both sides.
\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}
Combine \frac{3}{4}x and \frac{1}{20}x to get \frac{4}{5}x.
\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{19}{4}+\frac{3}{4}
Add \frac{3}{4} to both sides.
\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{19+3}{4}
Since \frac{19}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{22}{4}
Add 19 and 3 to get 22.
\frac{4}{5}x=\frac{11}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{11}{2}\times \frac{5}{4}
Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{5}.
x=\frac{11\times 5}{2\times 4}
Multiply \frac{11}{2} times \frac{5}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{55}{8}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{11\times 5}{2\times 4}.
