Question

Solve for x: the quantity of x plus 16 all over 3 = 3x (1 point)

Answer 1

Explanation:

X+ 16 = 3x

3

Subtract x from each side

16/3=2x

Divide by 2 on each side

16 / 6 = x

Simplify

8 / 3= x

Or 2 2/3

Answer 2

The value of x from the equation is 2

Given the expression below:

(x + 16)/3 = 3x

Cross multiplying

x + 16 = 3(3x)

x + 16 = 9x

Subtract x from both sides

x - 9x = 0 - 16

-8x = -16

x = 16/8

x = 2

Hence the value of x from the equation is 2
