$x = - \frac{62}{3}$ $x=-62/3$

Make the denominators the same by multiplying them with each other.

$\frac{3 x (5)}{6 \times 5} - \frac{6 (4 x + 6)}{6 \times 5} = 5$ $(3x(5))/(6xx5) - (6(4x+6))/(6xx5) = 5$

$\frac{15 x - 24 x - 36}{30} = 5$ $(15x-24x-36)/30=5$

Multiply both equations by $30$ $30$ to remove it.

$15 x - 24 x - 36 = 150$ $15x-24x-36=150$

$- 9 x = 186$ $-9x=186$

$:.x=-62/3$

x = -20(2/3)

Taking L CM for 5, 6 as 30,
$((5*3x)-(6*(4x+6)))/30=5$

$15x-24x-36 = 150$
$-9x = 150+36 = 186$
$x = -20(2/3)$
