Solve (x-2/5)+(x-1/5)=350

$$( x - \frac { 2 } { 5 } ) + ( x - \frac { 1 } { 5 } ) = 350$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{1753}{10} = 175\frac{3}{10} = 175.3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x-\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=350$$

Since -\frac{2}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x+\frac{-2-1}{5}=350$$

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

$$2x-\frac{3}{5}=350$$

Add \frac{3}{5} to both sides.

$$2x=350+\frac{3}{5}$$

Convert 350 to fraction \frac{1750}{5}.

$$2x=\frac{1750}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$$

Since \frac{1750}{5} and \frac{3}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{1750+3}{5}$$

Add 1750 and 3 to get 1753.

$$2x=\frac{1753}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1753}{5}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{1753}{5}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1753}{5\times 2}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$x=\frac{1753}{10}$$
