Question

X/16-1/4=1/2 solve for x

Answer 1

First you need to make all of your denominators the same. This will leave you with x/16-4/16=8/16.

Now, multiply the whole equation by 16. This will let you get rid of your denominators. This will leave you with x-4=8.

Now, add 4 to both sides. This will leave you with x=12.

Answer 2

The answer would be 12
