Original equation: %284x%2F5%29%2B5=13
Step 1: Begin by subtracting '5' on both sides to get the %284x%2F5%29 by itself
%284x%2F5%29%2B5=13
%284x%2F5%29=8
Step 2: To get rid of the fraction, multiply by its reciprocal, which would be %285%2F4%29.. doing this will leave you with the 'x' by itself. You must multiply the reciprocal to both sides of the equation
%284x%2F5%29%285%2F4%29=8%285%2F4%29
x=%2840%2F4%29
Step 3: Simplify
x=%2840%2F4%29
x=10
The answer is x=10
