Question #84c30

Answer 1

Collect like terms.

Explanation:

We can begin by moving all the `x`s onto one side. We will move the `2x` because it is easier when we have a positive coefficient of `x`.We should then get an equation that looks like this.

`2x-1/5=1`

We can the move all the numbers onto the other side. To do this we will add `1/5` and get the following equation.

`2x=1 1/5`

We then convert the mixed number into an improper/ top heavy fraction. We gain our numerator by multiply the integer by the denominator and adding the numerator. The denominator remains the same.

`2x=6/5`

To finish we divide by 2.

`x=3/5`

Hope this has helped.
