Answer:

7.2222...

Explanation:

Well first, to make it easier, remove the fractions by multiplying both sides by the LCM (or 65 in this case).

Thus, we will have:


65((4x)/(5)+2)=65((5x)/(13)+5)


65((4x)/(5))+65(2)=65((5x)/(13))+65(5)


52x+130=25x+325

Now, simply isolate the
x.


52x=25x+195


27x=195


x=7.2222... or
(65)/(9)
