Question
$\frac{0.2\text{x}+5}{3.5\text{x}-3}=\frac{2}{5}$
✓
Answer
Given, $\frac{0.2\text{x}+5}{3.5\text{x}-3}=\frac{2}{5} 5(0.2x + 5) = 2(3.5x - 3)$
$x + 25 = 7x - 6$
$x - 7x = -6 - 25$
$-6x = -31$
$-\frac{6\text{x}}{6}=-\frac{31}{-6}$
$\text{x}=\frac{31}{6}$
$x + 25 = 7x - 6$
$x - 7x = -6 - 25$
$-6x = -31$
$-\frac{6\text{x}}{6}=-\frac{31}{-6}$
$\text{x}=\frac{31}{6}$
