Please provide the equation you need to solve.

The equation in question is:

$(3)/(5)(x+(4)/(3))=\text{ 1.04}$

So, we start by multiplying both sides of the equation by "5" in order to cancel out the denominator common to the binomial on the left:

$3(x+(4)/(3))=\text{ }5.2$

Now, we proceed to use distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis on the left side of the equal sign

Now subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the term in x on the left

3 x = 5.2 - 4 = 1.2

and finally, divide both sides by 3 to completely isolate x:

x = 1.2 / 3 = 0.4

Therefore x = 0.4
