\frac{16000000}{x}-4=28
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
\frac{16000000}{x}-\frac{4x}{x}=28
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 4 times \frac{x}{x}.
\frac{16000000-4x}{x}=28
Since \frac{16000000}{x} and \frac{4x}{x} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
16000000-4x=28x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
16000000-4x-28x=0
Subtract 28x from both sides.
16000000-32x=0
Combine -4x and -28x to get -32x.
-32x=-16000000
Subtract 16000000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16000000}{-32}
Divide both sides by -32.
x=500000
Divide -16000000 by -32 to get 500000.
