Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

we need to separate x, so

3 (2x - 5) = 16

-3 -3

subtract 3 from both sides

then you are left with 2x - 5 = 13

+5 +5

then add 5 on both sides

then you are left with 2x = 18

/2 /2

divide 2 from both sides,

and you get x= 9

Let's solve the value for x


3(2x-5)=16
6x-15=16
6x=16+15
6x=31
x=(31)/(6)

The value for x is 31/6
