Solve 6+1/x=18

$$6 + 1 / x = 18$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{12}\approx 0.083333333$$

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.

$$x\times 6+1=18x$$

Subtract 18x from both sides.

$$x\times 6+1-18x=0$$

Combine x\times 6 and -18x to get -12x.

$$-12x+1=0$$

Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-12x=-1$$

Divide both sides by -12.

$$x=\frac{-1}{-12}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{-12} can be simplified to \frac{1}{12} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{1}{12}$$
