Solve x+1/5=4/7

$$x+ \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 4 }{ 7 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{13}{35}\approx 0.371428571$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{5} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{4}{7}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 7 and 5 is 35. Convert \frac{4}{7} and \frac{1}{5} to fractions with denominator 35.

$$x=\frac{20}{35}-\frac{7}{35}$$

Since \frac{20}{35} and \frac{7}{35} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{20-7}{35}$$

Subtract 7 from 20 to get 13.

$$x=\frac{13}{35}$$
