X-3/5=⅔ find x

1 answer

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

Given the equation X-3/5 = 2/3, we can first add 3/5 to both sides to get rid of the fraction on the left side:

X - 3/5 + 3/5 = 2/3 + 3/5
X = 2/3 + 3/5

Now, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions on the right side. The least common denominator for 3 and 5 is 15:

X = (2*5)/(3*5) + (3*3)/(5*3)
X = 10/15 + 9/15
X = 19/15

Therefore, the value of x is 19/15 or 1.27.
