Solve 2/5x-1/2=3/5x 7/10

Evaluate

\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{5} x \times \frac{7}{10}

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{21}{50} x

Move the variable to the left side

\frac{2}{5} x - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{21}{50} x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- \frac{1}{50} x - \frac{1}{2} = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- \frac{1}{50} x = 0 + \frac{1}{2}

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- \frac{1}{50} x = \frac{1}{2}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{1}{50} x = - \frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{1}{50} x \times 50 = - \frac{1}{2} \times 50

Multiply

x = - \frac{1}{2} \times 50
