Question

Solve the following equation for x.

6x = 1.5

Answer 1

answer: x=0.25




work: 6x= 1.5

6x/6 = 1.5/6

simplify = 6 divided by 6 = 0
1.5 divided by 6 = 0.25

0.25 is the answer

Answer 2

x = .25

Explanation:

6x = 1.5

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 1.5/6

Multiply the top and bottom by 10

x = 1.5*10/ (6*10)

x = 15/60

x = 1/4

x = .25
