wat is 5x - 16= 3x
2007-01-24 12:02:31 · 10 answers · asked by Nicole M 1 in Science & Mathematics ➔ Geography
you need to solve for x
5x-16=3x
(add 16 to both sides)
5x=3x+16
(subtract 3x from both sides)
2x=16
(solve for x)
x=8

1) -5x + 4 = -4x+16 -5x + 4x = 16 - 4 -x = 12 x = -12 2) 2x +10 =-1 +3x 2x - 3x = -1 - 10 -x = -11 x = 11 3) -3(1x - 4) =6 -3x + 12 = 6 -3x = 6 - 12 -3x = -12 x = -12/-3 x = 4

X=8
The work to this is this: 5x-16=3x
+16 +16
So you get 5x=3x+16
Then you subtract 3x from both sides leaving you with 2x=16.
Then you divide both sides by 2.
Thus x=8.

8 Another way to do it is to subtract 5x from both sides leaving
-16 = -2x then divide each side by -2 to get the x by itself leaving
8 = x

what the hell you gettin ur hw answer online! Tsktsktsk
anyway
5x - 16 = 3x
5x + (-16) = 3x
5x + (-3x) = 16
2x/2 = 16/2
X = 8

-16=3x-5x
-16=-2x
x=8

In algebra, whatever you do to one side; such as add or subtract; you need to do on the other side. Get all of your "x"s (variable) on one side; and then solve the problem.
