Solve S-1.8x=5.7

$$S - 1.8 x = 5.7$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5S}{9}-\frac{19}{6}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract S from both sides.

$$-1.8x=5.7-S$$

Divide both sides of the equation by -1.8, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{-1.8x}{-1.8}=\frac{5.7-S}{-1.8}$$

Dividing by -1.8 undoes the multiplication by -1.8.

$$x=\frac{5.7-S}{-1.8}$$

Divide 5.7-S by -1.8 by multiplying 5.7-S by the reciprocal of -1.8.

$$x=\frac{5S}{9}-\frac{19}{6}$$

Solve for S

$$S=\frac{9x}{5}+5.7$$

Solution Steps

Add 1.8x to both sides.

$$S=5.7+1.8x$$
