Answer: x = 40/3

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify 3/2x to 3x/2. 3x/2 - 4 = 16

Then add four to both sides. 3x/2=16+4.

Simplify 16+4 to 20. 3x/2 = 20.

Multiply both sides by two. 3x = 20 * 2.

Simplify 20 * 2 to 40. 3x = 40.

After that, divide both sides by 3.

x = 40/3.

Hope this helps!

Add 4 of both sides leaving you with
3/2x=20
Then multiply both sides by 2/3 giving you x=3
