Answer:

Answers in description based on what you're looking for. Not sure if you meant solve, because combining like terms results in repeating number

Explanation:

- Combining like terms would lead to:

21 = 9x

/9 /9

x = 2.333333 (Repeating 3)

- Or to solve:

16 + 4x = 5x + 5

- 4x - 4x

16 = x + 5

- 5 -5

11 = x
