How to solve y=1.2x+1.5

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

$$y=1.2x+1.5$$

$x=\frac{5y}{6}-1.25$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$1.2x+1.5=y$$

Subtract $1.5$ from both sides.

$$1.2x=y-1.5$$

Divide both sides of the equation by $1.2$, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{1.2x}{1.2}=\frac{y-1.5}{1.2}$$

Dividing by $1.2$ undoes the multiplication by $1.2$.

$$x=\frac{y-1.5}{1.2}$$

Divide $y-1.5$ by $1.2$ by multiplying $y-1.5$ by the reciprocal of $1.2$.

$$x=\frac{5y}{6}-\frac{5}{4}$$

$y=\frac{6x}{5}+1.5$
