Question

What is the value of x?


`(4)/(5) x - (1)/(10) = (3)/(10)`
​

Answer 1

x =
`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

`(4)/(5)` x -
`(1)/(10)` =
`(3)/(10)`

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 5 and 10 ) to clear the fractions

8x - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )

8x = 4 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x =
`(4)/(8)` =
`(1)/(2)`
