Solve 0.6divx=12*1/5

$$0.6 \div x=12 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.25$$

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 5x, the least common multiple of x,5.

$$5\times 0.6=12\times \frac{1}{5}\times 5x$$

Multiply 5 and 0.6 to get 3.

$$3=12\times \frac{1}{5}\times 5x$$

Multiply 12 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{12}{5}.

$$3=\frac{12}{5}\times 5x$$

Cancel out 5 and 5.

$$3=12x$$

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

$$12x=3$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$x=\frac{3}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=\frac{1}{4}$$
