Solve (x+11)*16div2=78.5

$$( x + 11 ) \times 16 \div 2 = 78.5$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1.1875$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 2.

$$\left(x+11\right)\times 16=78.5\times 2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x+11 by 16.

$$16x+176=78.5\times 2$$

Multiply 78.5 and 2 to get 157.

$$16x+176=157$$

Subtract 176 from both sides.

$$16x=157-176$$

Subtract 176 from 157 to get -19.

$$16x=-19$$

Divide both sides by 16.

$$x=\frac{-19}{16}$$

Fraction \frac{-19}{16} can be rewritten as -\frac{19}{16} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{19}{16}$$
