To solve for x we must get it on one side by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 5.1, we must then divide both sides by 5.1 in order to essentially 'cancel out' the coefficient of x on the left side so that we then get x by itself:


5.1x=1.02


(5.1x)/(5.1)=(1.02)/(5.1)


x=0.2

So now we have solved for x and x = 0.2.
