You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2+(x)/(10)=(5)/(3)
Since 2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides.
(x)/(10)=-2+(5)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
(x)/(10)=-(1)/(3)
Multiply each term in the equation by 10.
(x)/(10)*10=-(1)/(3)*10
Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=-(1)/(3)*10
Multiply -(1)/(3) by 10 to get -(10)/(3).
x=-(10)/(3)
