3/5 (x - 10) = 18 - 4x - 1. Which terms can be combined

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 (x - 10) = 18 - 4x - 1

Combine like terms

3/5 (x-10) = 17 - 4x

Distribute

3/5x - 6 = 17 - 4x

Add 6 to each side

3/5x - 6+6 = 17 - 4x+6

3/5x = 23 - 4x

Add 4x to each side

3/5x + 4x = 23

Get a common denominator

3/5x + 20/5x = 23

23/5 x = 23

Multiply each side by 5/23 to isolate x

23/5x * 5/23 = 23 * 5/23

x = 5
