Question

If x/5+3=x/2 then the value of x is​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x/5 + 3 = x/2

Subtract 3 from both the sides:

x/5 + 3 -3 = x/2 -3

Simplify:

x/5 = x/2 - 3

Multiply all the terms by the same value to remove the denominators:

10(x/5) = 10(x/2 - 3)

10(x/5) = 10(x/2) + 10(-3)

2 × x = 5 × x + 10(-3)

2x = 5x - 30

2x - 5x = -30

-3x = -30

x = -30/-3

x = 30/3 (- and - will be cancelled)

x = 10
