Answer:
28.1
Step-by-step explanation:
You can answer questions like this by working backwards.
To do this we can divide 78.2 by 2 and that gets us 39.1
Now we have to subtract 11 from it and that gets us our final answer:
28.1
16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
In order to simplify, let's add 6x and 13x.
We will get 19x, and that is the answer!
