Solve x+1/2=3/5

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{10}=0.1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert \frac{3}{5} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$x=\frac{6}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since \frac{6}{10} and \frac{5}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{6-5}{10}$$

Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.

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