Answer: x is -10

Explanation:

x - 4 = 16+3x

Transposing the x, and arranging in one side of equation

x - 3x = 16 + 4

now we changed the positions of x and we can simplify it.

so,

x - 3x = -2x -----------------(1)

16 + 4 = 20 ----------------(2)

Therefore the x - 3x = 16 + 4 will change into -2x = 20

Then x = 20 ÷ -2 = -10

x = -10
