16x=9\left(0.28-x\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9x, the least common multiple of 9,x.
16x=2.52-9x
Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 0.28-x.
16x+9x=2.52
Add 9x to both sides.
25x=2.52
Combine 16x and 9x to get 25x.
x=\frac{2.52}{25}
Divide both sides by 25.
x=\frac{252}{2500}
Expand \frac{2.52}{25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=\frac{63}{625}
Reduce the fraction \frac{252}{2500} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
