It appears you are looking for x.
1.4+2/5x=3/15x-.08
you have to isolate the x
first add. 08 to both sides
1.48+2/5=3/15x
i would now find the equivalence fraction of 2/5 with the denominator of 15. To do this you have to multiply 5 by 3 to get 15 so, you multiply the original numerator to get the equivalent one. 2 (3) = 6
1.48+6/15x=3/15x
now i am going to subtract 6/15x from both sides
1.48 = - 3/15x
to get rid of the fraction i am going to convert it to a decimal.
-3/15 = -.2
1.48 = -.2x
now i have to divide both sides by -.2
7.4=x
