Solve 5x/3-2/5=0 - ScanMath

Evaluate

(5 \times \frac{x}{3}) - \frac{2}{5} = 0

Multiply the terms

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

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

\frac{5 x}{3} = 0 + \frac{2}{5}

Add the terms

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

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

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

Multiply the terms

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

Divide the terms

5 x = \frac{6}{5}

Multiply by the reciprocal

5 x \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}

Multiply

x = \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}
