X/3=x+2/5 soo...x=___

1 answer:

7 0

X/3 = x + 2/5....multiply everything by common denominator of 15
5x = 15x + 6
5x - 15x = 6
-10x = 6
x = -6/10 reduces to - 3/5

or...
x/3 is the same as 1/3x

1/3x = x + 2/5
1/3x - x = 2/5
1/3x - 3/3x = 2/5
-2/3x = 2/5
x = 2/5 * -3/2
x = - 6/10 which reduces to - 3/5
