x + 1/10 = 29/30

3 answers

To solve for x, we can start by isolating x on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 1/10 from both sides:

x + 1/10 - 1/10 = 29/30 - 1/10

Simplifying on both sides, we get:

x = 29/30 - 1/10

To add the fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 30 in this case:

x = (29/30)*(10/10) - (1/10)*(3/3)

Simplifying the numerator, we get:

x = 290/300 - 3/30

Combining the fractions, we have:

x = (290 - 3)/300

Simplifying further, we have:

x = 287/300

So, the solution to the equation x + 1/10 = 29/30 is x = 287/300.
x = 13/15.
Yes, x = 13/15 is the correct solution. Good job!
