How to solve 16x = 12? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.

We have 16x = 12

Divide both sides by 16, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

16x/16 = 12/16

x = 12/16

To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 4, which is the GCF of 12 and 16:

x = 3/4 or, x = 0.75
