2x  - 10   + 20 x   =   - 15 ( x/5  + 4 )

22 x  - 10  = - 3x - 60

25 x   = - 50

x   =  - 2

Using brackets we should have:

(1/5)(2x - 10) + 4x = -3((1/5)x + 4)

or, (1/5)(2x - 10) + 4x = -(3/5)(x + 20)

So, multiplying by 5 we get:

2x - 10 + 20x = -3x - 60

so, 25x = -50

Then, x = -2

1/5(2x − 10) + 4x = -3(1/5x + 4)

Multiply through by '5'

(2x - 10) + 20x = -15(1/5x + 4)

Multiply out the brackets

2x - 10 + 20x = -3x - 60

Collect terms

22x - 10 = -3x - 60

Add '3x' to both sides

25x - 10 = -60

Add '10' to both sides

25x = - 50

Divide both sides by '25'

x = -50/25 = -2

x = -2

1/5(2x − 10) + 4x = -3(1/5x + 4)

=> ---- ( 2 x - 10 )  +  4 x   =     - 3  (----- x  +  4 )

Multiply both the sides by 5

=>  ( 2 x - 10 )  +  20 x    =    - 3 x  -  60

=>  22 x  -  10   =   -  3 x  -  60

=>  x ( 22 + 3 )   =   10  -  60

[1/5(2x - 10) + 4x = -3(1/5x + 4)]5

 2x - 10 + 20x = - 15(1/5x + 4)

 22x - 10 = - 3x - 60

 22x + 3x = - 60 + 10

 25x = - 50

 x = - 2 answer//

is that

(1/5)(2x − 10) + 4x = -3((1/5)x + 4) ??

or

1/(5(2x − 10)) + 4x = -3(1/(5x) + 4) ??

I'll pick the first

multiply by 5

(2x − 10) + 20x = -3(x + 20)

2x − 10 + 20x = –3x – 60

25x = –60 + 10 = –50

x = –2

check

(1/5)(2x − 10) + 4x = -3((1/5)x + 4)

(1/5)(2(–2) − 10) + 4(–2) = -3((1/5)(–2) + 4)

(1/5)(–4 − 10) – 8 = -3((–2/5) + 4)

(1/5)(−14) – 8 = (6/5) – 12

–14 – 40 = 6 – 60

–54 = –54
