x+16=54x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x+16-54x=0
Subtract 54x from both sides.
-53x+16=0
Combine x and -54x to get -53x.
-53x=-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16}{-53}
Divide both sides by -53.
x=\frac{16}{53}
Fraction \frac{-16}{-53} can be simplified to \frac{16}{53} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
