Solve 16(9-2x)2=36

Evaluate

16 (9 - 2 x) \times 2 = 36

Multiply the terms

32 (9 - 2 x) = 36

Divide both sides

\frac{32 ( 9 - 2 x )}{32} = \frac{36}{32}

Divide the numbers

9 - 2 x = \frac{36}{32}

Cancel out the common factor 4

9 - 2 x = \frac{9}{8}

Move the constant to the right side

- 2 x = \frac{9}{8} - 9

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- 2 x = - \frac{63}{8}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = \frac{63}{8}

Multiply by the reciprocal

2 x \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{63}{8} \times \frac{1}{2}

Multiply

x = \frac{63}{8} \times \frac{1}{2}

Solution
