Solve 5x+2/10=12

$$5 x + 2 / 10 = 12$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{59}{25} = 2\frac{9}{25} = 2.36$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$5x+\frac{1}{5}=12$$

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

$$5x=12-\frac{1}{5}$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{60}{5}.

$$5x=\frac{60}{5}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{60}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$5x=\frac{60-1}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from 60 to get 59.

$$5x=\frac{59}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{\frac{59}{5}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{59}{5}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{59}{5\times 5}$$

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$x=\frac{59}{25}$$
