Solve 15/x=0.9

$$\frac{ 15 }{ x } =0.9$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{50}{3} = 16\frac{2}{3} \approx 16.666666667$$

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.

$$15=0.9x$$

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

$$0.9x=15$$

Divide both sides by 0.9.

$$x=\frac{15}{0.9}$$

Expand \frac{15}{0.9} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{150}{9}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{150}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=\frac{50}{3}$$
