Question

$$2x-7/5=x+9/5$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{16}{5} = 3\frac{1}{5} = 3.2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $x$ from both sides.

$$2x-\frac{7}{5}-x=\frac{9}{5}$$

Combine $2x$ and $-x$ to get $x$.

$$x-\frac{7}{5}=\frac{9}{5}$$

Add $\frac{7}{5}$ to both sides.

$$x=\frac{9}{5}+\frac{7}{5}$$

Since $\frac{9}{5}$ and $\frac{7}{5}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{9+7}{5}$$

Add $9$ and $7$ to get $16$.

$$x=\frac{16}{5}$$
