Solve 163*10^-20=-13.55/x

$$163 \times { 10 }^{ -20 } = \frac{ -13.55 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{1355000000000000000000}{163}\approx -8.312883436 \cdot 10^{18}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$163\times 10^{-20}x=-13.55$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -20 and get \frac{1}{100000000000000000000}.

$$163\times \frac{1}{100000000000000000000}x=-13.55$$

Multiply 163 and \frac{1}{100000000000000000000} to get \frac{163}{100000000000000000000}.

$$\frac{163}{100000000000000000000}x=-13.55$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{100000000000000000000}{163}, the reciprocal of \frac{163}{100000000000000000000}.

$$x=-13.55\times \frac{100000000000000000000}{163}$$

Multiply -13.55 and \frac{100000000000000000000}{163} to get -\frac{1355000000000000000000}{163}.

$$x=-\frac{1355000000000000000000}{163}$$
