Answer:

X= 59/10

Explanation:

First, we can turn 6 1/2 into a improper fraction (when the numerator is greater than the denominator)

So,


6(1)/(2)

Turns into


(13)/(2)

Now we have:


X+(3)/(5) =(13)/(2) \\\\

Next, we subtract 3/5 from both sides of the equation which equals:


X =(13)/(2)-(3)/(5) \\\\

Simplify we get:


X= (59)/(10)

or X = 5.9
