+-4%2F%28x-2%29=-3%2F%285x-10%29%2B6+
First move the fraction on the right to the left side by adding its inverse
+-4%2F%28x-2%29+%2B3%2F%285x-10%29+=+6+
multiply the first fraction by 5/5 to get common denominators
+-20%2F%285x-10%29+%2B3%2F%285x-10%29+=+6+
Combine like terms
+-17%2F%285x-10%29+=6+
Remember that anything over 1 is equal to itself
+-17%2F%285x-10%29+=+6%2F1+
Cross multiply
+-17%281%29+=+6%285x-10%29+
Distribute
+-17+=+30x+-60+
Add 60 to both sides
+43+=+30x+
divide by 30
+43%2F30+=+x+
