Answer:

X= 59/10

Explanation:

First, we can turn 6 1/2 into a improper fraction (when the numerator is greater than the denominator)

So,

6(1)/(2)

Turns into

(13)/(2)

Now we have:

$X+(3)/(5) =(13)/(2) \\\\$

Next, we subtract 3/5 from both sides of the equation which equals:

$X =(13)/(2)-(3)/(5) \\\\$

Simplify we get:

X= (59)/(10)

or X = 5.9
