Solve x+2/5=1/2

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 5.

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

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 5 to get \frac{5}{2}.

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

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$x=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{4}{2}$$

Since \frac{5}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{5-4}{2}$$

Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
