An equation is shown.

3x + 4/5 = 7 - 2x

What is the solution to the equation?

x=

x = 1.24

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to move the variable to one side. To do that, the smallest variable needs to be subtracted or added.

3x+4/5 = 7-2x

+2x + 2x

Now that it has been moved to one side, isolate the variable. Subtract 4/5 to both sides.

5x+4/5 = 7

-4/5 - 4/5

(4/5 is 0.80, so subtract 0.80 from 7)

5x = 6.2

Now divide 5 to both sides.

5x=6.2

5 5

x = 1.24

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4/5 = 7 - 2x

Multiply each term by 5

15x + 4 = 35 - 10x

15x + 10x = 35 - 4

25x = 31

x = 31/25

x = 1 6/25
