Solve 4.8div8=2divx

$$4.8 \div 8=2 \div x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{10}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3} \approx 3.333333333$$

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 8x, the least common multiple of 8,x.

$$x\times 4.8=8\times 2$$

Multiply 8 and 2 to get 16.

$$x\times 4.8=16$$

Divide both sides by 4.8.

$$x=\frac{16}{4.8}$$

Expand \frac{16}{4.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{160}{48}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{160}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 16.

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