This is a linear equation with fractions—the key is to clear the denominators first by finding a common denominator, then collect like terms. Multiply every term by the LCD (20 here) to convert it into a simpler equation without fractions, then isolate $x$ using inverse operations. Once you've simplified, you'll have a straightforward equation to solve.
