6x-5=(3)/(5)

Since -5 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 5 to both sides.
6x=5+(3)/(5)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation.
6x=(28)/(5)

Divide each term in the equation by 6.
(6x)/(6)=(28)/(5)*(1)/(6)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
x=(28)/(5)*(1)/(6)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=(14)/(15)
