Question

X/x+3=2/5
Solve for x please.

Answer 1

`(x)/(x + 3) = (2)/(5) \\2(x + 3) = 5x \\2(x) + 2(3) = 5x \\2x + 6 = 5x \\(6)/(3) = (3x)/(3) \\2 = x`

Answer 2

X/x+3=2/5. We are going to do 3-2/5. The first thing you do is make 3 a fraction:
`(3)/(1)`. Now the subtraction problem is
`(3)/(1)- (2)/(5)` Next we have to make common denominators for
`(3)/(1)` and
`(2)/(5)`
`(3*5)/(1*5)= (15)/(5) \ and \ (2*1)/(5*1)= (2)/(5)` Now we are going to subtract.
`(15)/(5)- (2)/(5)= (13)/(5)` So, X/x=
`\boxed{ (13)/(5)}` Hoped I helped. :)
