Solve using inverse operations. =3/5x=2/5

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

To do this, we will first multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5, which is 5/3.

(5/3) * (3/5)x = (5/3) * (2/5)

The (3/5) cancels out on the left side, leaving us with:

x = (5/3) * (2/5)

x = 10/15

Finally, we simplify the fraction to get:

x = 2/3
