Solve 5/8(x+4)/10=4/16

$$\frac { \frac { 5 } { 8 } ( x + 4 ) } { 10 } = \frac { 4 } { 16 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 80, the least common multiple of 10,16.

$$8\times \frac{5}{8}\left(x+4\right)=5\times 4$$

Cancel out 8 and 8.

$$5\left(x+4\right)=5\times 4$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+4.

$$5x+20=5\times 4$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$5x+20=20$$

Subtract 20 from both sides.

$$5x=20-20$$

Subtract 20 from 20 to get 0.

$$5x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 5 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.

$$x=0$$
