    Re: Mathematical Problem.....

    then value of x is 96.5.
    I will use + and - like this,
    208 - x = 15 + x
    => x = 96.5

    Re: Mathematical Problem.....

    Here it is,
    Let us apply - in the left and * in the right side of the equation,

    208 - x = 15 * x
    => 16x=208
    Solving this we get x=13

    Therefore the equation is 208 -13 = 15 * 13
