Question

Solve for x write your answer as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number

2/5(5x-3)+3/5=4x-1/5​

Answer 1

x=-1/5

Explanation:

`(2)/(5) (5x-3)+(3)/(5) =4x-(1)/(5)`

Multiply both sides by 5:

2(5x-3)+3=20x-1

Distribute:

10x-6+3=20x-1

Simplify Like-Terms:

10x-3=20x-1

Add 3 to both sides:

10x=20x+2

Subtract 10x from both sides:

0=10x+2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

10x=-2

Divide by 10:

x=-2/10

or

x=-1/5
