Question

$$\frac{ 17 }{ 16 } x= \frac{ 15 }{ 4 } x$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $\frac{15}{4}x$ from both sides.

$$\frac{17}{16}x-\frac{15}{4}x=0$$

Combine $\frac{17}{16}x$ and $-\frac{15}{4}x$ to get $-\frac{43}{16}x$.

$$-\frac{43}{16}x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $-\frac{43}{16}$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
