Solve x+3/10=5/10

$$x + \frac { 3 } { 10 } = \frac { 5 } { 10 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract \frac{3}{10} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{10}$$

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

$$x=\frac{5}{10}-\frac{3}{10}$$

Since \frac{5}{10} and \frac{3}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{5-3}{10}$$

Subtract 3 from 5 to get 2.

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

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

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