Solve 0.15x = 12

0.15 x = 12

Step by step

  1. 0.15 x = 12

    Start from the equation as given.

  2. 0.15 x - 12 = 0

    Bring everything to one side and collect like terms so the right-hand side is 0.

  3. 0.15 x = 12.0

    Move the constant term to the other side: subtract -12.0 from both sides.

  4. x = \frac{12.0}{0.15}

    Divide both sides by 0.15, the coefficient of x.

  5. x = 80

    Simplify the fraction.
