Solve 1.5=2/1-x

$$1.5 = \frac{ 2 }{ 1-x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+1.

$$1.5\left(-x+1\right)=2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 1.5 by -x+1.

$$-1.5x+1.5=2$$

Subtract 1.5 from both sides.

$$-1.5x=2-1.5$$

Subtract 1.5 from 2 to get 0.5.

$$-1.5x=0.5$$

Divide both sides by -1.5.

$$x=\frac{0.5}{-1.5}$$

Expand \frac{0.5}{-1.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{5}{-15}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{-15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=-\frac{1}{3}$$
