\frac{1x}{8}+\frac{7x}{16}+28=x
Multiply 8 and 2 to get 16.
\frac{2\times 1x}{16}+\frac{7x}{16}+28=x
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 8 and 16 is 16. Multiply \frac{1x}{8} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{2\times 1x+7x}{16}+28=x
Since \frac{2\times 1x}{16} and \frac{7x}{16} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2x+7x}{16}+28=x
Do the multiplications in 2\times 1x+7x.
\frac{9x}{16}+28=x
Combine like terms in 2x+7x.
\frac{9x}{16}+28-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{9x}{16}-x=-28
Subtract 28 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
9x-16x=-448
Multiply both sides of the equation by 16.
-7x=-448
Combine 9x and -16x to get -7x.
x=\frac{-448}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=64
Divide -448 by -7 to get 64.
