16-490:x+38=9

To solve the equation \( 16 - 490x + 38 = 9 \), first, combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

\[ 16 + 38 - 490x = 9 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 54 - 490x = 9 \]

Next, isolate the term with \( x \) by subtracting 54 from both sides:

\[ -490x = 9 - 54 \]

\[ -490x = -45 \]

Now, divide both sides by -490 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{-45}{-490} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = \frac{45}{490} \]

Now, reduce the fraction:

\[ x = \frac{9}{98} \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ x = \frac{9}{98} \]
