Question

2x + 5x = 3x + 16

Someone help. Can you help me figure out what x is and simplify this equation?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Perform any simplification of like terms if possible

7x=3x+16

Collect x terms on one side. Can use the left side for x terms. That means 3x must dissapear. To do this we need to take 3x from both sides.

7x-3x=3x-3x+16

4x=16

To solve for x we need to divide by 4 on both sides

4x/4=16/4

x=4

Answer 2

Explanation:

Rena Roosh, fun name :P so, just use your algebra skillz

2x + 5x = 3x + 16

I'm wondering if there is an extra "x" on the right hand side,

anyway

7x -3x = 16

4x = 16

x = 4

see??
