Question

How do you solve:
10/11x + 1/3 = 2/5 - 1/11x + 2/5

Answer 1

The right side is just 4/5 - 1/11 x (by adding 2/5 and 2/5)

Answer 2

Now we want to bring all the x's to one side of the equation, so add 1/11 x to both sides, you get 11/11 x + 1/3 = 4/5

Answer 3

11/11 x is just 1x or x (becuase 11/11 = 1)

Answer 4

So you have x + 1/3 = 4/5

Now subtract 1/3 from both sides, and what do you get, x = ?
