what is the solution to this equation?

1/2x+1/5=7/10

1 answer

To solve this equation, we need to find the value of x that satisfies the equation.

First, we can combine 1/2x and 1/5 to get a common denominator:
1/2x + 1/5 = 7/10
5/10x + 2/10 = 7/10
(5x + 2)/10 = 7/10

Now we can cross multiply to solve for x:
5x + 2 = 7
5x = 5
x = 1

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1.
