Solve x+1/3=2/5

$$\frac { x + 1 } { 3 } = \frac { 2 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 3.

$$x+1=\frac{2}{5}\times 3$$

Express \frac{2}{5}\times 3 as a single fraction.

$$x+1=\frac{2\times 3}{5}$$

Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.

$$x+1=\frac{6}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}-\frac{5}{5}$$

Since \frac{6}{5} and \frac{5}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{6-5}{5}$$

Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.

$$x=\frac{1}{5}$$
