Answer:

x= 17 / 3

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x−16+2x=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−16+2x=18

4x+−16+2x=18

(4x+2x)+(−16)=18(Combine Like Terms)

6x+−16=18

6x−16=18

Step 2: Add 16 to both sides.

6x−16+16=18+16

6x=34

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x / 6 = 34 /6

x= 17 / 3
