Solve 1.2x = 96

1.2 x = 96

Step by step

  1. 1.2 x = 96

    Start from the equation as given.

  2. 1.2 x - 96 = 0

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

  3. 1.2 x = 96.0

    Move the constant term to the other side: subtract -96.0 from both sides.

  4. x = \frac{96.0}{1.2}

    Divide both sides by 1.2, the coefficient of x.

  5. x = 80

    Simplify the fraction.
