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

Evaluate

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

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

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

Move the variable to the left side

\frac{3}{5} x - 2 - \frac{1}{3} x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

\frac{4}{15} x - 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

\frac{4}{15} x = 0 + 2

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

\frac{4}{15} x = 2

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{4}{15} x \times \frac{15}{4} = 2 \times \frac{15}{4}

Multiply

x = 2 \times \frac{15}{4}

Solution
