Solve 2/3=1-2x/5 - ScanMath

Evaluate

\frac{2}{3} = 1 - (2 \times \frac{x}{5})

Multiply the terms

\frac{2}{3} = 1 - \frac{2 x}{5}

Swap the sides of the equation

1 - \frac{2 x}{5} = \frac{2}{3}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{2 x}{5} = \frac{2}{3} - 1

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{2 x}{5} = - \frac{1}{3}

Rewrite the expression

\frac{- 2 x}{5} = \frac{- 1}{3}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5

\frac{- 2 x}{5} \times 5 = \frac{- 1}{3} \times 5

Multiply the terms

- 2 x = \frac{- 5}{3}

Divide the terms

- 2 x = - \frac{5}{3}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = \frac{5}{3}

Multiply by the reciprocal

2 x \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}

Multiply

x = \frac{5}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}
