x= 11/10
2.5x-1=10-7.5x

We move all terms to the left:

2.5x-1-(10-7.5x)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2.5x-(-7.5x+10)-1=0

We get rid of parentheses

2.5x+7.5x-10-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

10x-11=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

10x=11

x=11/10
