Answer 1

Hello... im exhausted but ill solve it i guess

To solve for x in the equation 2/5 + x = 1, we can follow these steps:

Subtract 2/5 from both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:

2/5 + x - 2/5 = 1 - 2/5

This simplifies to:

x = 1 - 2/5

Find a common denominator for 1 and 2/5, which is 5:

x = 5/5 - 2/5

Subtract 2/5 from 5/5:

x = 3/5

So, the solution for x in the given equation is x = 3/5.
