Question

x-1/5=x-1/2 please help

Answer 1

The value of x in the expression is 1

Using the expression given to solve for x ;

• x - 1/5 = x -1/2

we cross multiply

5(x - 1) = 2(x - 1)

open the bracket

5x - 5 = 2x - 2

collect like terms

5x - 2x = -2 + 5

3x = 3

x = 1

Therefore, the value of x is 1
