Solve x+1/16=15/8

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 16 } = \frac { 15 } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{29}{16} = 1\frac{13}{16} = 1.8125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{16} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{1}{16}$$

Least common multiple of 8 and 16 is 16. Convert \frac{15}{8} and \frac{1}{16} to fractions with denominator 16.

$$x=\frac{30}{16}-\frac{1}{16}$$

Since \frac{30}{16} and \frac{1}{16} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{30-1}{16}$$

Subtract 1 from 30 to get 29.

$$x=\frac{29}{16}$$
