Solve for x 1/10x=1/5

$\frac{1}{10} x = \frac{1}{5}$

Step 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by $10$ .

$10 (\frac{1}{10} x) = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

Step 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $10 (\frac{1}{10} x)$ .

Combine $\frac{1}{10}$ and $x$ .

$10 \frac{x}{10} = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

Cancel the common factor of $10$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$10 \frac{x}{10} = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

$x = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

$x = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

$x = 10 (\frac{1}{5})$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Factor $5$ out of $10$ .

$x = 5 (2) \frac{1}{5}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = 5 \cdot 2 \frac{1}{5}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 2$

$x = 2$

$x = 2$
