Question

(x/16)-(x+2)/8))=2 PLS HELP ME BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER

Answer 1

Simplify both sides of the equation

x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

Distribute

1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2

Combine Like Terms

−1/16x + −1/4 = 2

Add 1/4 to both sides.

−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4

−1/16x = 9/4

Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).

(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)

x=−36
