Answer:

Explanation:

3x-16=1-2x

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3x-16=1-2x

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+3x+2x=+1+16

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+5x=+17

We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x.

x=3.4
