Answer:

2/25 is the Answer, as a decimal it is 0.08

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x + 1/50 = 1/10

Step 2: Subtract 1/50 from both sides.

x + 1/50 - 1/50 = 1/10 - 1/50

X = 2/25

Proof that it is the answer

0.02 + 0.08 = 0.1

0.02 is 1/50

0.08 is 2/25

0.1 is 1/10

Hope this helps!

\bold{Hey\ there!} \\ \bold{(1)/(50)+x=(1)/(10)}\\ \\ \bold{You\ have\ to\ simplify\ both\ sides\ of\ your\ equation\downarrow}\\ \bold{Like:x+(1)/(50)=(1)/(10)} \\ \\ \bold{Next,\ you\ have\ to\ \underline{SUBTRACT}\ by\ (1)/(50)\ on\ your\ sides} \\ \bold{x+(1)/(50)-(1)/(50)=(1)/(10)-(1)/(50)}\\ \\ \bold{Cancel:(1)/(50)-(1)/(50)because\ it\ equals\ to\0!} \\ \bold{Keep:(1)/(10)-(1)/(50)\ because\ it\ helps\ us\ solve\ for\ our\ answer!}


\bold{(1)/(10)-(1)/(50)=(2)/(25)} \\ \\ \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:x=(2)/(25)}}}\checkmark \\ \\ \\ \bold{Good\ luck\ on\ your\ assignment\ \& \ enjoy\ your\ day!} \\ \\ \\ \frak{LoveYourselfFirst:)}
