1/5
3x = 5x - 10 Subtract both sides by 5x 3x - 5x = 5x - 10 - 5x Simplify - 2x = - 10 Divided both sides by -2 to isolate x - 2x / - 2 = - 10 / - 2 Simplify x = 5 Plug x into the original equation. 3(5) = 5(5) - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 25 - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 15 = ? Therefore 3x = 5x - 10 = 15
4/5 - 2/10 = 4/5 - 1/5 = 3/5
If that's 6x + 10, that factors to 2(3x + 5)
5. Think of 0.2 as 2/10 and then invert that fraction to 10/2 and simplify it to 5.
Can I .... yes. 10 / 5 = 2
5 to 10 = 1 to 2
You can't simplify it any farther then that.
4/10 = 2/5
5/12

2/5 or 40%
15 + 10 - 13 - 5 = 7
3x = 5x - 10 Subtract both sides by 5x 3x - 5x = 5x - 10 - 5x Simplify - 2x = - 10 Divided both sides by -2 to isolate x - 2x / - 2 = - 10 / - 2 Simplify x = 5 Plug x into the original equation. 3(5) = 5(5) - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 25 - 10 = ? Simplify 15 = 15 = ? Therefore 3x = 5x - 10 = 15
When you simplify 8 over 10 to its lowest term, the answer is 4 over 5.
