Answer:

[tex]x = - 18.825[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{5}{6}( \frac{3}{8} - x)

= 16 \\ \frac{(5)(3)}{(6)(8)} - \frac{5x}{6} = 16 \\ 15 - 40x = 768\\ 40x = 15 - 768\\ x = - 18.825[/tex]

The value of x for the equation to be equal is- 40/753

Solution to linear equation

Given the linear equation expressed as:

5/6 (3/8 - x) = 16

Open the parenthesis

5/16 - 5/6x = 16

Collect the like terms

-5/6x = 16 - 5/16
-5/6x = 251/16

Cross multiply

1506x = -80
x = -80/1506
x = -40/753
Hence the value of x for the equation to be equal is- 40/753
