HELP Can anyone tell me if I did this simple question correct??
(3x+1)/2 - 4/5 = x/10 + (2x-3)/5
Multiplied all by 10:
5(3x +1) - 8 = x + 4x - 6
Simplfied:
15x + 5 - 8 = 5x - 6
more simplified:
15x - 3 = 5x - 6
Subtracted 5x from both sides
10x - 3 = -6
Added 3 to both sides
10x = -3
divided both sides by 10
x = -0.3

the second line: make them have the same denominator and cancel it out
the last line: x = -3/10 let the fraction there, don't round it. 
The leftover is ok.
