Question
$$\frac{1313}{16}-\frac{87}{16} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{1313}{16}-\frac{87}{16} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 16 }. \\[1 em]16\cdot\frac{1313}{16}-16\cdot\frac{87}{16} &= 16\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]1313-87 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]1226 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 1226 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
