D is the correct answer. You have five less so you know the 5 is going to have a - in front of it and you have three times a number (3x) so 3x-5=16

three times that no. so 3x
5 less from above no. so 3x-5
equals 16
so,3x-5=16

d) ---and the answer is x=7-- add 5 to both sides the equal sign -- then you have 3x=21: then divide both sides by 3 then you have x=7 -- plug in 7 for x in the answers and do the math -- remember pemdas(parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division,adding and subtracting)

Your sentence is correct and your answer is correct. Note that 4/3 or 1 1/3 is more exact than 1.33
