Question

3x-1/5=x+1/3 pls help me

Answer 1

4/15

Explanation:

3x-1/5 = x+1/3

make a common denominator

3x -3/15 = x + 5/15

next you can take away one x from both sides

2x - 3/15 = 5/15

then we want to have x alone on one side and everything else on the other

2x = 5/15 + 3/15

2x = 8/15

1x = 8/15 ÷ 2

1x = 8/30

simplify that

x = 4/15

Answer 2

x=4/15

Explanation:

first you need to make common denominators for 1/5 and 1/3

the common denominator is 15

5*3=15, 3*5=15. 1*3=3, 1*5=5

new equation:3x-3/15=x+5/15

now subtract x from both sides: 3x-3/15=x+5/15

-x -x

2x-3/15=5/15

now you can add 3/15 to 5/15

2x=8/15

now for the last step, divide by 2 because there are 2 x's

2x/2=x 8/15 /2=4/15

x=4/15
