3x-36+\frac{2}{5}x=0
Add \frac{2}{5}x to both sides.
\frac{17}{5}x-36=0
Combine 3x and \frac{2}{5}x to get \frac{17}{5}x.
\frac{17}{5}x=36
Add 36 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=36\times \frac{5}{17}
Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{17}, the reciprocal of \frac{17}{5}.
x=\frac{36\times 5}{17}
Express 36\times \frac{5}{17} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{180}{17}
Multiply 36 and 5 to get 180.
