Answer: x = 5/6

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x + 3/5 = 43/30

Step 2: Subtract 3/5 from both sides.

x + 3/5 - 3/5 = 43/30 - 3/5

x = 5/6

Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

3/5 + x = 43/30

Subtract 3/5 from both sides.

x =
(43)/(30) -(3)/(5)

Find a common denominator, subtract, and simplify.

x =
(43)/(30)- (18)/(30) =(43-18)/(30) =(25)/(30) =(5)/(6)

x = 5/6
