Solve x+1/10=-1/5

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

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{3}{10}=-0.3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

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

Least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. Convert -\frac{1}{5} and \frac{1}{10} to fractions with denominator 10.

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

Since -\frac{2}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

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