Solve 1/8+1/8=1/16/x

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 8 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ \frac{ 1 }{ 16 } }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$$

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 8x, the least common multiple of 8,x.

$$8x\times \frac{1}{8}+8x\times \frac{1}{8}=8\times \frac{1}{16}$$

Cancel out 8 and 8.

$$x+8x\times \frac{1}{8}=8\times \frac{1}{16}$$

Cancel out 8 and 8.

$$x+x=8\times \frac{1}{16}$$

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x=8\times \frac{1}{16}$$

Multiply 8 and \frac{1}{16} to get \frac{8}{16}.

$$2x=\frac{8}{16}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{16} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

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

Divide both sides by 2.

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

Express \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2} as a single fraction.

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

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$x=\frac{1}{4}$$
