Solve x+1/2=6/5

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 6 } { 5 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{7}{10}=0.7$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{6}{5}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert \frac{6}{5} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$x=\frac{12}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since \frac{12}{10} and \frac{5}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{12-5}{10}$$

Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.

$$x=\frac{7}{10}$$
