%287%2F10%29x-4x%2B6%2F5=7%2F5 Start with the given equation.


10%28%287%2Fcross%2810%29%29x-4x%2B6%2Fcross%285%29%29=10%287%2Fcross%285%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 10 to clear any fractions.


7x-40x%2B12=14 Distribute and multiply.


-33x%2B12=14 Combine like terms on the left side.


-33x=14-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-33x=2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%282%29%2F%28-33%29 Divide both sides by -33 to isolate x.


x=-2%2F33 Reduce.
