5(2x - 4) = 45
10x - 20 = 45
10x = 45 + 20
10x = 65
x = 65/10 reduces to 13/2 or 6 1/2
Answer:
368
Step-by-step explanation:
This appears to be just an expression we are simplifying, not an equation we are solving. I THINK you are saying that the expression looks like this:

If you rationalize the denominator, you would get this expression:

which, after simplifying, looks like this:

and that's as simple as I can see that one getting. You can't factor anything out of the denominator to cancel with the numerator, so I think you're as simple as you can get there!
