Solve x/10-10x/2=20/60

Evaluate

\frac{x}{10} - (10 \times \frac{x}{2}) = \frac{20}{60}

Cancel out the common factor 2

\frac{x}{10} - 5 x = \frac{20}{60}

Cancel out the common factor 20

\frac{x}{10} - 5 x = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{x}{10} - 5 x) \times 30 = \frac{1}{3} \times 30

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 147 x = \frac{1}{3} \times 30

Simplify the equation

More Steps

- 147 x = 10

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

147 x = - 10

Divide both sides

\frac{147 x}{147} = \frac{- 10}{147}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 10}{147}

Solution

x = - \frac{10}{147}

Alternative Form

x \approx - 0.068027
