Question

2x+1/5(x-5)=17/5

Answer 1

\(2x+\dfrac{1}{5}\left(x-5\right)=\dfrac{17}{5}\)

<=> 2x + \(\dfrac{1}{5}x-1=\dfrac{17}{5}\)

<=> \(2x+\dfrac{1}{5}x=\dfrac{22}{5}\)

<=> \(\dfrac{11}{5}x=\dfrac{22}{5}\)

<=> 11x = 22

<=> x =2

Answer 2

\(2x+\dfrac{1}{5}\left(x-5\right)=\dfrac{17}{5}\)

\(2x+\dfrac{1}{5}x-1=\dfrac{17}{5}\)

\(\left(2+\dfrac{1}{5}\right)x=\dfrac{17}{5}+1\)

\(\dfrac{11}{5}x=\dfrac{22}{5}\)

\(x=2\)
