Solve 9/15x+1/5=2/5

$$\frac { 9 } { 15 x } + \frac { 1 } { 5 } = \frac { 2 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 15x, the least common multiple of 15x,5.

$$9+15x\times \frac{1}{5}=6x$$

Multiply 15 and \frac{1}{5} to get 3.

$$9+3x=6x$$

Subtract 6x from both sides.

$$9+3x-6x=0$$

Combine 3x and -6x to get -3x.

$$9-3x=0$$

Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-3x=-9$$

Divide both sides by -3.

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

Divide -9 by -3 to get 3.

$$x=3$$
