Solve 7x+8/5=2

$$7x+ \frac{ 8 }{ 5 } =2$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{35}\approx 0.057142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{8}{5} from both sides.

$$7x=2-\frac{8}{5}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{10}{5}.

$$7x=\frac{10}{5}-\frac{8}{5}$$

Since \frac{10}{5} and \frac{8}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$7x=\frac{10-8}{5}$$

Subtract 8 from 10 to get 2.

$$7x=\frac{2}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 7.

$$x=\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{7}$$

Express \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{7} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{2}{5\times 7}$$

Multiply 5 and 7 to get 35.

$$x=\frac{2}{35}$$
