Question

$$6x-x=8.4-0.9$$

Solve for x

$x=1.5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $6x$ and $-x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x=8.4-0.9$$

Subtract $0.9$ from $8.4$ to get $7.5$.

$$5x=7.5$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{7.5}{5}$$

Expand $\frac{7.5}{5}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{75}{50}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{75}{50}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $25$.

$$x=\frac{3}{2}$$
