1.6x=6+x how do i solve??
6x=6+x
6x - x = 6
5x = 6
x = 6/5
x = 1.2
it is suppose to be 1.6 not 6 sorry
OK. I misread it.
1.6x=6+x
1.6x - x = 6
0.6x = 6
x = 6/0.6
x = 10
thank you
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 1.6x = 6 + x, you need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. Here are the steps to solve it:
1. Distribute 1.6 to x: 1.6x = 6 + 1x
Now the equation becomes: 1.6x - 1x = 6
2. Combine like terms: (1.6 - 1)x = 6
Simplify the left side: 0.6x = 6
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 to solve for x:
x = 6 / 0.6
The result is x = 10.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1.6x = 6 + x is x = 10.
