Question

(156 - x)16 = (204 - x)24​

Answer 1

x=300

Step-by-step explanation:

156*16 - x*16 = 204*24 - x*24

2496-16x = 4896*24x

-16x+24x =4896-2496

8x = 2400

x = 2400/8

= 300

Answer 2

${\bold{\red{\underbrace{\overbrace{\blue{Answer}}}}}}$

(156 - x)16 = (204 - x)24

2496-16x = 4896 - 24x

24x - 16x = 4896-2490

8x = 2400

x = $\huge\frac{2400}{8}$

x = 300
