\frac{16000000}{x}-64=256
Multiply both sides of the equation by 64.
\frac{16000000}{x}-\frac{64x}{x}=256
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 64 times \frac{x}{x}.
\frac{16000000-64x}{x}=256
Since \frac{16000000}{x} and \frac{64x}{x} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
16000000-64x=256x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
16000000-64x-256x=0
Subtract 256x from both sides.
16000000-320x=0
Combine -64x and -256x to get -320x.
-320x=-16000000
Subtract 16000000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16000000}{-320}
Divide both sides by -320.
x=50000
Divide -16000000 by -320 to get 50000.
