Question

What does x+2/5=12 equal and I would love to Seehow you worked it out

Answer 1

x +
`(2)/(5)` = 12

First, subtract
`(2)/(5)` from both sides. / Your problem should look like: x = 12 -
`(2)/(5)`
Second, simplify 12 -
`(2)/(5)` to
`(58)/(5)` / Your problem should look like: x =
`(58)/(5)`

Answer as fraction: x =
`(58)/(5)`
Answer as decimal: x = 11.6

Answer 2

You said x + 2/5 = 12

It might be easier to handle if we use the decimal for 2/5.

x + 0.4 = 12

Subtract 0.4 from each side: x = 11.6

That's all there is to it. I'm sorry I can't make it
more complicated for you.
