Solve 1,5/x=8,1/2,7

$$\frac { 1,5 } { x } = \frac { 8,1 } { 2,7 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0,5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$1,5=x\times \frac{8,1}{2,7}$$

Expand \frac{8,1}{2,7} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$1,5=x\times \frac{81}{27}$$

Divide 81 by 27 to get 3.

$$1,5=x\times 3$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 3=1,5$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{1,5}{3}$$

Expand \frac{1,5}{3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{15}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 15.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
