Solve 1.4/x=1.6/32

$$\frac{ 1.4 }{ x } = \frac{ 1.6 }{ 32 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=28$$

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 32x, the least common multiple of x,32.

$$32\times 1.4=x\times 1.6$$

Multiply 32 and 1.4 to get 44.8.

$$44.8=x\times 1.6$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times 1.6=44.8$$

Divide both sides by 1.6.

$$x=\frac{44.8}{1.6}$$

Expand \frac{44.8}{1.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{448}{16}$$

Divide 448 by 16 to get 28.

$$x=28$$
