First, let's find a common denominator for the fractions in the equation. The common denominator for 100, 16, and 50 is 800.
So, we rewrite the equation with the common denominator:
(99/100) - (1/16)x = (39/50) - x
Multiplying each term by 800 to get rid of the fractions:
(99 8) - 50x = (39 16) - 800x
792 - 50x = 624 - 800x
Add 800x to both sides:
792 + 750x = 624
Subtract 792 from both sides:
750x = -168
Divide by 750 to solve for x:
x = -168/750x = -0.224
So, the solution to the equation is x = -0.224.
