Answer:


x=7

Explanation:


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

Subtract
(1)/(3) from both sides:


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


(2)/(5) x=(1)/(3)x+(12)/(15)-(5)/(15)


(2)/(5)x=(1)/(3)x+(7)/(15)

Subtract
(1)/(3) x from both sides:


(2)/(5)x-(1)/(3)x=(1)/(3)x+(7)/(15)-(1)/(3)x


(6)/(15)x-(5)/(15)x=(7)/(15)


(1)/(15)x=(7)/(15)

Multiply both sides by 15:


15* (1)/(15)x=(7* 15)/(15)


x=(105)/(15)


x=7
