Solve 7/16-x=15/32

$$\frac { 7 } { 16 } - x = \frac { 15 } { 32 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1}{32}=-0.03125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{7}{16} from both sides.

$$-x=\frac{15}{32}-\frac{7}{16}$$

Least common multiple of 32 and 16 is 32. Convert \frac{15}{32} and \frac{7}{16} to fractions with denominator 32.

$$-x=\frac{15}{32}-\frac{14}{32}$$

Since \frac{15}{32} and \frac{14}{32} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-x=\frac{15-14}{32}$$

Subtract 14 from 15 to get 1.

$$-x=\frac{1}{32}$$

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$x=-\frac{1}{32}$$
