Question

What does x+2/5=12 equal and I would love to Seehow you worked it out

Answer 1

You said                      x + 2/5 = 12

It might be easier to handle if we use the decimal for 2/5.

                                               x + 0.4 = 12

Subtract 0.4 from each side:  x = 11.6

That's all there is to it.  I'm sorry I can't make it
more complicated for you.

Answer 2

X + $\frac{2}{5}$ = 12

First, subtract $\frac{2}{5}$ from both sides. / Your problem should look like: x = 12 - $\frac{2}{5}$
Second, simplify 12 - $\frac{2}{5}$ to $\frac{58}{5}$ / Your problem should look like: x = $\frac{58}{5}$

Answer as fraction: x = $\frac{58}{5}$
Answer as decimal: x = 11.6
