    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
