%283%2F4%29x-3%2F2=9%2F5-%281%2F10%29x Start with the given equation.


Multiply both sides by the LCD 20 to clear any fractions.


15x-30=36-2x Distribute and multiply.


15x=36-2x%2B30 Add 30 to both sides.


15x%2B2x=36%2B30 Add 2x to both sides.


17x=36%2B30 Combine like terms on the left side.


17x=66 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2866%29%2F%2817%29 Divide both sides by 17 to isolate x.
