Answer:

x=-0.3

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

6/x+16=7/3x+3

Required to solve for the value of x.

6/x+16=7/3x+3

We first multiply all the terms by 3x

6/x(3x) + 16(3x) = 7/3x(3x) + 3 (3x)

18 + 48x = 7 + 9x

Combining the right terms

18 - 7 = 9x - 48x

11 = -39 x

solving for x

x = -11/39

= -0.282

To the nearest tenth, x = -0.3

Thus, the value of x = -0.3
