8\times 16=5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8x, the least common multiple of x,8.
128=5x
Multiply 8 and 16 to get 128.
5x=128
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{128}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
