\frac{x+6}{6x}=\frac{1}{4.5}
Divide both sides by 4.5.
\frac{x+6}{6x}=\frac{10}{45}
Expand \frac{1}{4.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
\frac{x+6}{6x}=\frac{2}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{45} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
3\left(x+6\right)=4x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 18x, the least common multiple of 6x,9.
3x+18=4x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+6.
3x+18-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-x+18=0
Combine 3x and -4x to get -x.
-x=-18
Subtract 18 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=18
Multiply both sides by -1.
