Question

$$\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$$

Solve for x

$x=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}x$ from both sides.

$$\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{1}{2}$$

Combine $\frac{3}{5}x$ and $-\frac{1}{2}x$ to get $\frac{1}{10}x$.

$$\frac{1}{10}x=\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply both sides by $10$, the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{10}$.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}\times 10$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ and $10$ to get $\frac{10}{2}$.

$$x=\frac{10}{2}$$

Divide $10$ by $2$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
