Solve 16+2.5+0.275x=x

$$16+2.5+0.275x = x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{740}{29} = 25\frac{15}{29} \approx 25.517241379$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 16 and 2.5 to get 18.5.

$$18.5+0.275x=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$18.5+0.275x-x=0$$

Combine 0.275x and -x to get -0.725x.

$$18.5-0.725x=0$$

Subtract 18.5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-0.725x=-18.5$$

Divide both sides by -0.725.

$$x=\frac{-18.5}{-0.725}$$

Expand \frac{-18.5}{-0.725} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x=\frac{-18500}{-725}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-18500}{-725} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -25.

$$x=\frac{740}{29}$$
