Solve 5/9+x=3/5

$$\frac { 5 } { 9 } + x = \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{45}\approx 0.044444444$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{9} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{5}{9}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 9 is 45. Convert \frac{3}{5} and \frac{5}{9} to fractions with denominator 45.

$$x=\frac{27}{45}-\frac{25}{45}$$

Since \frac{27}{45} and \frac{25}{45} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{27-25}{45}$$

Subtract 25 from 27 to get 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{45}$$
