Collect like terms.

Explanation:

We can begin by moving all the #x#s onto one side. We will move the #2x# because it is easier when we have a positive coefficient of #x#.We should then get an equation that looks like this.

#2x-1/5=1#

We can the move all the numbers onto the other side. To do this we will add #1/5# and get the following equation.

#2x=1 1/5#

We then convert the mixed number into an improper/ top heavy fraction. We gain our numerator by multiply the integer by the denominator and adding the numerator. The denominator remains the same.

#2x=6/5#

To finish we divide by 2.

#x=3/5#

Hope this has helped.
