Answer:

x= 1/6

Explanation:

Multiply all the numbers by x and cancel:

3/5 + 2x =5.6x

2x + 3/5 = 5.6x (Simplify both sides of the equation)

2x + 3/5 - 5.6x = 5.6x - 5.6x (Subtract 5.6x from both sides)

-3.6x + 3/5 = 0

-3.6x + 3/5 - 3/5 = 0 - 3/5 (Subtract 3/5 from both sides)

-3.6 = -3/5

-3.6x/-3.6 = -3/5 / -3.6 (Divide both sides by -3.6)

x = 1/6
