Question

$$\frac{4x}{5}-\frac{3x}{10}=2$$

Solve for x

$x=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $10$, the least common multiple of $5,10$.

$$2\times 4x-3x=20$$

Multiply $2$ and $4$ to get $8$.

$$8x-3x=20$$

Combine $8x$ and $-3x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x=20$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{20}{5}$$

Divide $20$ by $5$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
