1. Solve for x: 3x-3/5+2=5

The value of x in the given equation is 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3/5 + 2 = 5

Combine - 3/5 and 2.

3x + 7/5 = 5

Subtract 7/5 from 5.

3x = 18/5

Divide 18/5 by 3.

x = 6/5

To check ourselves, let's pug in 6/5 for x in the equation.

3 (6/5) - 3/5 + 2 = 5

18/5 - 3/5 + 2 = 5

15/5 + 2 = 5

3 + 2 = 5

5 = 5

x = 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3/5 + 2 = 5

Add 3/5 and - 2 on both sides.

3x = 5 + 3/5 - 2

3x = 18/5

Divide 3 on both sides.

x = 18/5 : 3

x = 18/15

x = 6/5
