How would you do 3/10 x =3/5 =1? I know the answer is 4/3, but I can't understand how you would reach this answer. Could anybody explain in to me?
I think that you typed something incorrectly because you have two equal signs in this equation.
Was the original equation: 3/10x + 3/5 = 1 ?
If so, I would do it this way:
I would get rid of the denominators by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10.
10( 3/10x + 3/5 ) = 10(1) Multiply both sides by 10.
10( 3/10 ) + 10( 3/5 ) = 10 Use the distributive property.
3 x + 6 = 10 Simplify.
3x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6 To get rid of the term '+ 6' subtract 6 from both sides.
3x = 4 Simplify.
3x / 3 = 4 / 3 To get rid of the 3 times x, divide both sides by 3.
x = 4/3 Simplify.
