Subtracting 7/10 from the given equation we get:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)x+(7)/(10)-(7)/(10)=(19)/(10)-(7)/(10), \\ (3)/(5)x=(12)/(10). \end{gathered}

Now, multiplying the above equation by 5/3 we get:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)x*(5)/(3)=(12)/(10)*(5)/(3), \\ x=(4)/(2), \\ x=2. \end{gathered}

Answer:


x=2.
