Solve 1.6-8x=11/5+x

$$1.6-8x= 1 \frac { 1 } { 5 } +x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{45}\approx 0.044444444$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

$$8-40x=1\times 5+1+5x$$

Multiply 1 and 5 to get 5.

$$8-40x=5+1+5x$$

Add 5 and 1 to get 6.

$$8-40x=6+5x$$

Subtract 5x from both sides.

$$8-40x-5x=6$$

Combine -40x and -5x to get -45x.

$$8-45x=6$$

Subtract 8 from both sides.

$$-45x=6-8$$

Subtract 8 from 6 to get -2.

$$-45x=-2$$

Divide both sides by -45.

$$x=\frac{-2}{-45}$$

Fraction \frac{-2}{-45} can be simplified to \frac{2}{45} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{2}{45}$$
