Solve x+1=3/15

$$x + 1 = \frac { 3 } { 15 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{4}{5}=-0.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

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

Subtract 1 from both sides.

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

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{5}{5}.

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

Since \frac{1}{5} and \frac{5}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 5 from 1 to get -4.

$$x=-\frac{4}{5}$$
