Solve 4-x/3 = x-2/5

Evaluate

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

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(4 - \frac{x}{3}) \times 15 = (x - \frac{2}{5}) \times 15

Simplify the equation

More Steps

60 - 5 x = (x - \frac{2}{5}) \times 15

Simplify the equation

More Steps

60 - 5 x = 15 x - 6

Move the expression to the left side

60 - 5 x - 15 x = - 6

Move the expression to the right side

- 5 x - 15 x = - 6 - 60

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 20 x = - 6 - 60

Add and subtract

- 20 x = - 66

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

20 x = 66

Divide both sides

\frac{20 x}{20} = \frac{66}{20}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{66}{20}

Solution

x = \frac{33}{10}

Alternative Form

x = 3.3
