2x-60=16x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-30.
2x-60-16x=0
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-14x-60=0
Combine 2x and -16x to get -14x.
-14x=60
Add 60 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{60}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x=-\frac{30}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{-14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
