Question

16X = 22 + 5x
what is x

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

16x = 22+5x

1) 16x-5x = 22 + 5x - 5x =

11x = 22

x=2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

16*x-(22+5*x)=0

Pull out like factors :

11x - 22 = 11 • (x - 2)

Solve : 11 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : x-2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides of the equation :

x = 2
