Solve 2x+1/5=10

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

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{49}{10} = 4\frac{9}{10} = 4.9$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{5} from both sides.

$$2x=10-\frac{1}{5}$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{50}{5}.

$$2x=\frac{50}{5}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{50}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{50-1}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from 50 to get 49.

$$2x=\frac{49}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{49}{5}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{49}{5}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{49}{5\times 2}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$x=\frac{49}{10}$$
