Answer:

2.7

Explanation:

x/2-1/5=x/3+1/4

Collecting like terms of x on the left side we have;

x/2-x/3= 1/5 +1/4

(3x-2x)/6 = (4+5) /20

x/6 = 9/20

x= (9x6)/20 = 27/10 = 2 7/10 = 2.7

Answer:


x=(27)/(10)

Explanation:


(x)/(2)-(1)/(5)=(x)/(3)+(1)/(4)


(x)/(2)-(1)/(5)-(x)/(3)=(x)/(3)+(1)/(4)-(x)/(3)


-(1)/(5)+(x)/(6)=(1)/(4)


-(1)/(5)+(x)/(6)+(1)/(5)=(1)/(4)+(1)/(5)


(x)/(6)=(9)/(20)


(6x)/(6)=(9* \:6)/(20)


x=(27)/(10)
