Question

12/5x - 2x = 3/10
solve for x
And show steps plz

Answer 1

x=3/4

Explanation:

First, we must combine like terms and find the common denominator (which is 5):

12/5x-2x

12/5x-10/5x=2/5x

Then, we cross multiply

`(2x)/(5) =(3)/(10)`= 2x(10)=(3)(5)=20x=15

Then, we divide by 20 to get x:

x=15/20

and finally, we simplify the fraction

x=3/4
