The given equation is


6x+16=2x+28

We want to solve the above equation for x.

The first step is to combine the like terms.

Bring the 2x to the left side of the equation and bring 16 to the right side of the equation.


6x-2x=28-16

Simplify the equation.


\begin{gathered} 4x=12 \\ x=(12)/(4) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x is 3
