Solve x+10/x=1.5

$$\frac{ x+10 }{ x } =1.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=20$$

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.

$$x+10=1.5x$$

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

$$x+10-1.5x=0$$

Combine x and -1.5x to get -0.5x.

$$-0.5x+10=0$$

Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-0.5x=-10$$

Divide both sides by -0.5.

$$x=\frac{-10}{-0.5}$$

Expand \frac{-10}{-0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-100}{-5}$$

Divide -100 by -5 to get 20.

$$x=20$$
