Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x16 is the same thing as 16x, so we can rewrite our equation like this:

16x = 6x

Now, we can move the 6x to the left side of the equation, so we can combine all like terms. It will become negative because it is switching sides. So:

16x - 6x = 0

10x = 0

Finally, we need to divide both sides of the equations by 10, so that the x is isolated:

10x ÷ 10 = x

0 ÷ 10 = 0

x = 0
