Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

Solution for 16-3x=4+x equation:

Simplifying

16 + -3x = 4 + x

Solving

16 + -3x = 4 + x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.

16 + -3x + -1x = 4 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: -3x + -1x = -4x

16 + -4x = 4 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0

16 + -4x = 4 + 0

16 + -4x = 4

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.

16 + -16 + -4x = 4 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0

0 + -4x = 4 + -16

-4x = 4 + -16

Combine like terms: 4 + -16 = -12

-4x = -12

Divide each side by '-4'.
