x-0.2(x-3)=5 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-(1/5)*(x-3) = 5
Expand brackets in the left part
x-1/5x-3 = 5
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
3/5 + 4*x/5 = 5
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{4 x}{5} = \frac{22}{5}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4/5
x = 22/5 / (4/5)
We get the answer: x = 11/2
