Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -6 + 48x  =   6 • (8x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

 2.1      Solve :    6   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    8x-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      8x = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 8:
                     x = 1/8 = 0.125
