Solve x*125%*88%-x=16

$$x \times 125 \% \times 88 \% -x=16$$

Solve for x

$$x=160$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{125}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x\times \frac{5}{4}\times \frac{88}{100}-x=16$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{88}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x\times \frac{5}{4}\times \frac{22}{25}-x=16$$

Multiply \frac{5}{4} times \frac{22}{25} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$x\times \frac{5\times 22}{4\times 25}-x=16$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{5\times 22}{4\times 25}.

$$x\times \frac{110}{100}-x=16$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{110}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.

$$x\times \frac{11}{10}-x=16$$

Combine x\times \frac{11}{10} and -x to get \frac{1}{10}x.

$$\frac{1}{10}x=16$$

Multiply both sides by 10, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{10}.

$$x=16\times 10$$

Multiply 16 and 10 to get 160.

$$x=160$$
