\left(x-16\right)\times 15=x-6\times 2
Multiply 8 and 2 to get 16.
15x-240=x-6\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply x-16 by 15.
15x-240=x-12
Multiply 6 and 2 to get 12.
15x-240-x=-12
Subtract x from both sides.
14x-240=-12
Combine 15x and -x to get 14x.
14x=-12+240
Add 240 to both sides.
14x=228
Add -12 and 240 to get 228.
x=\frac{228}{14}
Divide both sides by 14.
x=\frac{114}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{228}{14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
