What is the solution to the rational equation x/5 + 2/5 = 7?

Question

maheshmeghwal9 · Answer

$$\frac{x}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=7.$$$$\implies \frac{x+2}{5}=7.$$$$\implies (x+2)=35.$$
So; $$\implies \color{blue}{x= \space  ?}$$

oh wait

anonymous · Answer

You need to move 2/5 to the other side, to do so we subtract it from both sides like so: $$x/5 + 2/5  - 2/5 = 7 - 2/5$$This simplifies to $$x/5 = 7 - 2/5$$and to simplify the right side, we make both terms have the same denominator by multiplying seven by five like so:$$x/5 = 35/5 - 2/5$$ which becomes $$x/5 = 33/5$$ and lastly, we multiply both sides by five: $$x = 33$$
