Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

x = \frac{1}{256} = 0.004

x=1/256=0.004

Step by Step Solution

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

16^2*x-(1)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

 1.1     16 = 2⁴

(16)² = (2⁴)² = 2⁸

Equation at the end of step 1 :

  (2⁸ • x) -  1  = 0

Step 2 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :

  256x - 1  = 0

Step 3 :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1      Solve  :    256x-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
                      256x = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 256:
                     x = 1/256 = 0.004

One solution was found :

x = 1/256 = 0.004
