0.25=\frac{\left(x-105\right)\sqrt{16}}{20}
Divide x-105 by \frac{20}{\sqrt{16}} by multiplying x-105 by the reciprocal of \frac{20}{\sqrt{16}}.
0.25=\frac{\left(x-105\right)\times 4}{20}
Calculate the square root of 16 and get 4.
0.25=\left(x-105\right)\times \frac{1}{5}
Divide \left(x-105\right)\times 4 by 20 to get \left(x-105\right)\times \frac{1}{5}.
0.25=x\times \frac{1}{5}-105\times \frac{1}{5}
Use the distributive property to multiply x-105 by \frac{1}{5}.
0.25=x\times \frac{1}{5}+\frac{-105}{5}
Multiply -105 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{-105}{5}.
0.25=x\times \frac{1}{5}-21
Divide -105 by 5 to get -21.
x\times \frac{1}{5}-21=0.25
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x\times \frac{1}{5}=0.25+21
Add 21 to both sides.
x\times \frac{1}{5}=21.25
Add 0.25 and 21 to get 21.25.
x=21.25\times 5
Multiply both sides by 5, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{5}.
x=106.25
Multiply 21.25 and 5 to get 106.25.
