5(8x - 12x) = 1

Apply the Distributive Property to get rid of the parentheses. The Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

5(8x - 12x) = 1

40x - 60x = 1

Collect like terms.

40x - 60x = 1

-20x = 1

Divide both sides by -20 to isolate the variable.

-20x = 1

-20x/-20 = 1/-20

x = -1/20

Answer:

x = [tex] -\frac{1}{20} [/tex]
