Solve the equation.

4 lower x minus three-fifths equals two-fifths

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the given equation:
4x - 3/5 = 2/5

Add 3/5 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -3/5 on the left side:
4x - 3/5 + 3/5 = 2/5 + 3/5
4x = 5/5

Simplifying on the right side gives:
4x = 1

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
(4x)/4 = 1/4
x = 1/4

So the solution to the equation is x = 1/4.
