Solve x+20%=10

$$x+20 \% =10$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{49}{5} = 9\frac{4}{5} = 9.8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$x+\frac{1}{5}=10$$

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

$$x=10-\frac{1}{5}$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{50}{5}.

$$x=\frac{50}{5}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{50}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{50-1}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from 50 to get 49.

$$x=\frac{49}{5}$$
