Solve x+2/5=2/3

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{4}{15}\approx 0.266666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{2}{5} from both sides.

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

Least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{5} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$x=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$$

Since \frac{10}{15} and \frac{6}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{10-6}{15}$$

Subtract 6 from 10 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{4}{15}$$
