Solve for x

$$x=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\times \frac{65}{16.25}=2$$

Expand \frac{65}{16.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x\times \frac{6500}{1625}=2$$

Divide 6500 by 1625 to get 4.

$$x\times 4=2$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{2}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
