3/5+x=2/3 what is the value of x? Please explain how you got the answer so I can learn too!
First
Simplify both sides of the equation
x + 3/5 = 2/3
second
subtract 3/5 from both sides
x + 3/5 -3/5 = 2/3 -3/5
x= 1/15
I hope you understand it ! and I hope its help !
3/5 +x = 2/3 First, you minus both sides by 3/5 to make x the subject
3/5 -3/5 +x = 2/3 -3/5
x = 2/3 -3/5 Multiply 2/3 and -3/5 so you get the same denominator
= 25/35 - 33/53
= 10/15 - 9/15 Now you can minus it
x = 1/15
You can only add/minus two fractions if they have the same denominator.
