Solve the equation for `x`:

Question

`\frac{2}{5}\left(x+1\right)=g`
show all work

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate x.

First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:

5 * \frac{2}{5}\left(x+1\right) = 5g

This simplifies to:

2(x + 1) = 5g

Next, distribute the 2:

2x + 2 = 5g

Now subtract 2 from both sides:

2x = 5g - 2

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{5g - 2}{2}

This simplifies to:

x = \frac{5g - 2}{2}
