Question

16 divided by x= 2 I need to solve for x

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

16/x = 2

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, multiply x to both sides:

(16/x)x = (2)x

2x = 16

Next, isolate the variable, x. Divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (16)/2

x = 16/2

x = 8

x = 8 is your answer.
