Question

$$\frac{1}{2}x\div2=\frac{1}{16}x$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $16$, the least common multiple of $2,16$.

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

Multiply $8$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to get $\frac{8}{2}$.

$$\frac{8}{2}x=1x$$

Divide $8$ by $2$ to get $4$.

$$4x=1x$$

Subtract $1x$ from both sides.

$$4x-x=0$$

Combine $4x$ and $-x$ to get $3x$.

$$3x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $3$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
