Solve 2/5*240=3/5*x

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \times 240= \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } \times x$$

Solve for x

$$x=160$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express \frac{2}{5}\times 240 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{2\times 240}{5}=\frac{3}{5}x$$

Multiply 2 and 240 to get 480.

$$\frac{480}{5}=\frac{3}{5}x$$

Divide 480 by 5 to get 96.

$$96=\frac{3}{5}x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$\frac{3}{5}x=96$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{3}, the reciprocal of \frac{3}{5}.

$$x=96\times \frac{5}{3}$$

Express 96\times \frac{5}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{96\times 5}{3}$$

Multiply 96 and 5 to get 480.

$$x=\frac{480}{3}$$

Divide 480 by 3 to get 160.

$$x=160$$
