Add 90 and 15 to get 105.
x-15=105\times \frac{1}{5}-x\times \frac{1}{5}
Use the distributive property to multiply 105-x by \frac{1}{5}.
x-15=\frac{105}{5}-x\times \frac{1}{5}
Multiply 105 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{105}{5}.
x-15=21-x\times \frac{1}{5}
Divide 105 by 5 to get 21.
x-15=21-\frac{1}{5}x
Multiply -1 and \frac{1}{5} to get -\frac{1}{5}.
x-15+\frac{1}{5}x=21
Add \frac{1}{5}x to both sides.
\frac{6}{5}x-15=21
Combine x and \frac{1}{5}x to get \frac{6}{5}x.
\frac{6}{5}x=21+15
Add 15 to both sides.
\frac{6}{5}x=36
Add 21 and 15 to get 36.
x=36\times \frac{5}{6}
Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{6}, the reciprocal of \frac{6}{5}.
x=\frac{36\times 5}{6}
Express 36\times \frac{5}{6} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{180}{6}
Multiply 36 and 5 to get 180.
x=30
Divide 180 by 6 to get 30.
