Solve 12x+10(1/8)=6

$$12 x + 10 ( \frac { 1 } { 8 } ) = 6$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{19}{48}\approx 0.395833333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 10 and \frac{1}{8} to get \frac{10}{8}.

$$12x+\frac{10}{8}=6$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$12x+\frac{5}{4}=6$$

Subtract \frac{5}{4} from both sides.

$$12x=6-\frac{5}{4}$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{24}{4}.

$$12x=\frac{24}{4}-\frac{5}{4}$$

Since \frac{24}{4} and \frac{5}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$12x=\frac{24-5}{4}$$

Subtract 5 from 24 to get 19.

$$12x=\frac{19}{4}$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$x=\frac{\frac{19}{4}}{12}$$

Express \frac{\frac{19}{4}}{12} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{19}{4\times 12}$$

Multiply 4 and 12 to get 48.

$$x=\frac{19}{48}$$
