Answer:


\huge \boxed{x = -3}

Explanation:


16x - 4 + 5x = -67

Combine like terms.


21x - 4 = -67

Add 4 to both sides.


21x = -63

Divide both sides by 21.


x = -3

Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

16x − 4 + 5x = -67

Combine like terms

21x -4 = -67

Add 4 to each side

21x-4+4 = -67+4

21x = -63

Divide each side by 21

21x/21 = -63/21

x = -3
