\left(x+6\right)\times 1,6=8x
Variable x cannot be equal to -6 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8\left(x+6\right), the least common multiple of 8;6+x.
1,6x+9,6=8x
Use the distributive property to multiply x+6 by 1,6.
1,6x+9,6-8x=0
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-6,4x+9,6=0
Combine 1,6x and -8x to get -6,4x.
-6,4x=-9,6
Subtract 9,6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-9,6}{-6,4}
Divide both sides by -6,4.
x=\frac{-96}{-64}
Expand \frac{-9,6}{-6,4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=\frac{3}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-96}{-64} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -32.
