Answer:

x = 1.6

x = 8/5

x = 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2= 6

Question = 5x - 2= 6

1. Isolate the variable

5x - 2= 6

+ 2 + 2

2. Simplify the like terms

6 + 2

= 8

3. Simplify the answer

Simplify by dividing both sides by 5

5x = 8

/5 /5

x = 8/5 or 1.6

The answers are:

x = 1.6

x = 8/5

x = 1 3/5

Hope this helped,
