15x-5\left(2x+\frac{x-1}{5}\right)=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.
15x-10x-5\times \frac{x-1}{5}=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by 2x+\frac{x-1}{5}.
15x-10x+\frac{-5\left(x-1\right)}{5}=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Express -5\times \frac{x-1}{5} as a single fraction.
15x-10x-\left(x-1\right)=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Cancel out 5 and 5.
15x-10x-x-\left(-1\right)=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
To find the opposite of x-1, find the opposite of each term.
15x-10x-x+1=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
The opposite of -1 is 1.
15x-11x+1=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Combine -10x and -x to get -11x.
4x+1=15-3\left(3x-\frac{1}{3}-2x\right)
Combine 15x and -11x to get 4x.
4x+1=15-3\left(x-\frac{1}{3}\right)
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
4x+1=15-3x-3\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-\frac{1}{3}.
4x+1=15-3x+1
Multiply -3 times -\frac{1}{3}.
4x+1=16-3x
Add 15 and 1 to get 16.
4x+1+3x=16
Add 3x to both sides.
7x+1=16
Combine 4x and 3x to get 7x.
7x=16-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
7x=15
Subtract 1 from 16 to get 15.
x=\frac{15}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
