$$6x-1.2=10$$

$x = \frac{28}{15} = 1\frac{13}{15} \approx 1.866666667$

Add $1.2$ to both sides.

$$6x=10+1.2$$

Add $10$ and $1.2$ to get $11.2$.

$$6x=11.2$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$x=\frac{11.2}{6}$$

Expand $\frac{11.2}{6}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{112}{60}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{112}{60}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=\frac{28}{15}$$
