15\left(x-\frac{4x}{5}\right)-2x=2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3,15.
15x+15\left(-\frac{4x}{5}\right)-2x=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 15 by x-\frac{4x}{5}.
15x-3\times 4x-2x=2x
Cancel out 5, the greatest common factor in 15 and 5.
15x-12x-2x=2x
Multiply -3 and 4 to get -12.
3x-2x=2x
Combine 15x and -12x to get 3x.
x=2x
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x-2x=0
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-x=0
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -1 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
