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

x = \frac{11}{5}

Decimal Notation

x = 2.2

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x - 1

5 (x - 1) = 6

Divide both sides by

5

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

Move

1

to the right side

x = \frac{11}{5}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{11}{5}

t, g = \frac{c}{1 - t}

x, p = \frac{q - x}{x + r}

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

z, 7 = \frac{4 - 7 w}{2 z}

\frac{4 x ^{2} - 10 x + 3}{3 x - 1} = 12
