Question 627150
{{{2-x=1/16}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{16(2-x)=1}}} Multiply both sides by 16.



{{{16*2-16*x=1}}} Distribute



{{{32-16x=1}}} Multiply



{{{-16x=1-32}}} Subtract 32 from both sides.



{{{-16x=-31}}} Combine like terms.



{{{x=-31/(-16)}}} Divide both sides by -16 to isolate x.



{{{x=31/16}}} Reduce



So the solution is {{{x=31/16}}}
