help me solve this i dont understand it at all please explain tome the answers

Statements Reasons
1-2/3(4-5x)=5 Given
3-2(4-5x)=15 ?
? ?
10x-5=15 Simplify
10x=20 ?
x=2 Division Property

I need help on filling out the question marks in this proof. Also in 1-2/3(4-5x)=5 (the first statement) the 2/3 is a fraction not division.

Here is what I would try doing. Write down the problem on a sheet of scrap paper and simplify it yourself. Don't pay any attention to the proof or their steps, just go through it neatly. Then once you are comfortable with your solution compare it with theirs and try to see if you can fill in their blanks by basing it off your own work. If you give that a go and it doesn't help let me know.
