Solve 10:x=2:0.6

$$10 : x = 2 : 0.6$$

Solve for x

$$x=3$$

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.

$$10=x\times \frac{2}{0.6}$$

Expand \frac{2}{0.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$10=x\times \frac{20}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$10=x\times \frac{10}{3}$$

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

$$x\times \frac{10}{3}=10$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{10}, the reciprocal of \frac{10}{3}.

$$x=10\times \frac{3}{10}$$

Cancel out 10 and 10.

$$x=3$$
