Solve 2(x+1/10)=3/5

$$2 ( x + \frac { 1 } { 10 } ) = \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{\frac{3}{5}}{2}$$

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

$$x+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3}{5\times 2}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$x+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3}{10}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{10} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{3}{10}-\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{3}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{3-1}{10}$$

Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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