Solve 16=x12*16/12*16+18+16*9

$$16 = x \frac{ 12 \cdot 16 }{ 12 \cdot 16+18+16 \cdot 9 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{59}{2} = 29\frac{1}{2} = 29.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 12 and 16 to get 192.

$$16=x\times \frac{192}{12\times 16+18+16\times 9}$$

Multiply 12 and 16 to get 192. Multiply 16 and 9 to get 144.

$$16=x\times \frac{192}{192+18+144}$$

Add 192 and 18 to get 210.

$$16=x\times \frac{192}{210+144}$$

Add 210 and 144 to get 354.

$$16=x\times \frac{192}{354}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{192}{354} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$16=x\times \frac{32}{59}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x\times \frac{32}{59}=16$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{59}{32}, the reciprocal of \frac{32}{59}.

$$x=16\times \frac{59}{32}$$

Express 16\times \frac{59}{32} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{16\times 59}{32}$$

Multiply 16 and 59 to get 944.

$$x=\frac{944}{32}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{944}{32} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 16.

$$x=\frac{59}{2}$$
