   5           
-------- = 1/10
20 - 6*x       
$$\frac{5}{20 - 6 x} = \frac{1}{10}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{5}{20 - 6 x} = \frac{1}{10}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 5

b1 = 20 - 6*x

a2 = 1

b2 = 10

so we get the equation
$$5 \cdot 10 = 20 - 6 x$$
$$50 = 20 - 6 x$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = - 6 x - 30$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$6 x = -30$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 6
x = -30 / (6)

We get the answer: x = -5
