Solve 6x+2=5/2

$$6 x + 2 = \frac { 5 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$6x=\frac{5}{2}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$6x=\frac{5}{2}-\frac{4}{2}$$

Since \frac{5}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$6x=\frac{5-4}{2}$$

Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.

$$6x=\frac{1}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{6}$$

Express \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1}{2\times 6}$$

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

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