Solve x-0.8=2/3

$$x - 0.8 = \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{22}{15} = 1\frac{7}{15} \approx 1.466666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 0.8 to both sides.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}+0.8$$

Convert decimal number 0.8 to fraction \frac{8}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{4}{5} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$x=\frac{10}{15}+\frac{12}{15}$$

Since \frac{10}{15} and \frac{12}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{10+12}{15}$$

Add 10 and 12 to get 22.

$$x=\frac{22}{15}$$
