Solve 1=5x-2/5

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{7}{25}=0.28$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Add \frac{2}{5} to both sides.

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

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

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

Since \frac{5}{5} and \frac{2}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 5 and 2 to get 7.

$$5x=\frac{7}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{\frac{7}{5}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{7}{5}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{7}{5\times 5}$$

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$x=\frac{7}{25}$$
