Answer:

The value of x is 1.2

Explanation:

Given;

6 x=6+x

Move x to the opposite side of the equation as follows;

6 x-x=6

Collect the like times, 6 x and x

6x-x=6

Subtract x from 6 x and solve

6x-x=5x

The equation remains;

5x=6

Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for x;

(5x)/5=6/5

x=1.2

The value of x is 1.2
