Answer:


{\boxed{\sf{x = (1)/(16)}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

CONCEPT :

Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

  • Step 1 :- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.
  • Step 2 :- then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.
  • Step 3 :- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.
  • Step 4 :- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.
  • Step 5 :- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.


\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}

SOLUTION :

To solve this equation we will follow the given concept :


{:\implies{\tt{7x + (1)/(16) = (1)/(2)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{7x = (1)/(2) - (1)/(16)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{7x = ((1 * 8) -1)/(16)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{7x = ((8) -1)/(16)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{7x = (8 - 1)/(16)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{7x = (7)/(16)}}}


{:\implies{\tt{x = (7)/(16) * (1)/(7) }}}


{:\implies{\tt{x = \frac{\cancel{7}}{16} * \frac{1}{ \cancel{7}}}}}


{:\implies{\tt{x = (1)/(16) * 1}}}


{:\implies{\tt{x = (1)/(16)}}}


{ \star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{x = (1)/(16)}}}}}}

Hence, the value of x is 1/16.
