-6x +16=-2x
First, add 6x to both sides. You get 16=4x
Next divide both sides by 4, you get 4=x. Your done!

Solve for the "x" variable in the equation. You can also write the equation as...
- 2x = -6x + 16
First: combine "like" terms on the left side > add 6 with both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
- 2x + 6x = -6x + 6x + 16
-2x + 6x = 16
4x = 16
Sec: solve for "x" by dividing 4 with both sides.
4x/4 = 16/4
x = 16/4
x = 4

x=4
you have place all like components on one side of the equation.
-6x + 16 = -2x can be simplified by adding 6x to both sides which results in 16 = 4x. now, to solve for x divide each side by 4 which is means 16/4 = 4=x

6x - 4(2x + 8) = sixteen 6x - 8x - 32 = sixteen {used distributive property} -2x - 32 = sixteen {blended like words} -2x = 40 8 {further 32 to the two aspects} x = -24 {divided the two aspects by making use of -2}

-6x + 16 = -2x
1) 16 = -2x + 6x (here I added a +6x to both sides of equation)
2) 16 = 4x (here I added -2x to 6x, which equals 4x)
3) 4 = x (here I devided both sides of equation by 4 to finally solve for x)
Remember, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other side as well, good luck!!!

add 2x
-6x + 16 + 2x = -2x +2x
-4x + 16 = 0
subtract 16
-4x + 16 -16= 0-16
-4x = -16
divide by -4
x = 4

-6x + 16 = - 2x
-6x + 2x = -16
-4x = -16
x = 16/4
x = 4
Solution: {x belongs to R| x = 4}

-6x +16 = -2x
+6x = +6x
------------------
16 = 4x
/4 = /4
x = 4
proof:
-6 * 4 = -24 + 16 = -8
-2 * 4 = -8

-6x+16 = -2x
-6x + 2x = -16
-4x = -16
x = (-16)/(-4)
x = 4

=> -6x + 2x = -16 (sending the known terms on one side &
the unknown terms on the other side)
=> -4x = -16( the -ve sign on the both LHS & RHS side would
get cancelled)
=> x = 4
good luckkkkk!!!!!!
