what is 16X-8= Howdo you get the answer

Question

How do i do this equation?

Answer 1

I am going to guess that the equation is 16X-8=0.  If I am incorrect please let me know.

16X-8=0 can be rewritten as 

16x-8+8= 0+8 we can do whatever we want to the equation as long as we do it to both sides of the equation, this would be simplified by solving the known values which would look like this

16X=8  Now we divide both sides of the equation by 16

16X/16 = 8/16 if we then solve the known values we end up with

X=1/2

Hope this helps, if I was wrong by assuming the equation equals 0 please let me know.
