Solve 15/5.5=6/x

$$\frac { 15 } { 5.5 } = \frac { 6 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=2.2$$

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.

$$x\times \frac{15}{5.5}=6$$

Expand \frac{15}{5.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x\times \frac{150}{55}=6$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{150}{55} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x\times \frac{30}{11}=6$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{11}{30}, the reciprocal of \frac{30}{11}.

$$x=6\times \frac{11}{30}$$

Express 6\times \frac{11}{30} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{6\times 11}{30}$$

Multiply 6 and 11 to get 66.

$$x=\frac{66}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{66}{30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$x=\frac{11}{5}$$
