3/2+2x/5=7/10

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/2+2x/5=7/10

Simplifying:
+1.5+2x/5=7/10

Simplifying:
+1.5 + 0.4x=7/10

Simplifying:
+1.5 + 0.4x=0.7

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.4x=0.7-1.5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.4x=-0.8

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.4 to get x.
x=-2
