Hey there!
1.2x = 6
DIVIDE 1.2 to BOTH SIDES
1.2x/1.2 = 6/1.2
CANCEL out: 1.2/1.2 because it give you 1
KEEP: 6/1.2 because it help solve for the x-value
NEW EQUATION: x = 6/1.2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 5
Therefore, your answer is: x = 5
(Thus, this mean your result is a positive)
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
