You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given to solve:
.
0.6x - 1.5 = 1.8
.
One technique you can use to simplify this problem is to get rid of the decimal points.
You can do this by multiplying both sides (all terms) by 10 to convert the equation to:
.
6x - 15 = 18
.
Get rid of the -15 on the left side by adding 15 to both sides to reduce the equation to:
.
6x = 18 + 15 = 33
.
So the equation is now:
.
6x = 33
.
Solve by dividing both sides by 6 which is the multiplier of the x. This reduces the equation to:
.
x = 33/6 = 5.5
.
Hope this helps you work the problem in a little easier way.
