Solve 2(3-x)=16(x 1)

Evaluate

2 (3 - x) = 16 (x \times 1)

Remove the parentheses

2 (3 - x) = 16 x \times 1

Multiply the terms

2 (3 - x) = 16 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

6 - 2 x = 16 x

Move the variable to the left side

6 - 2 x - 16 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

6 - 18 x = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 18 x = 0 - 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 18 x = - 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

18 x = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{18 x}{18} = \frac{6}{18}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{6}{18}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{3}

Alternative Form

x = 0. \dot{3}
