Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by distributing '2' from the parenthesis,

2x-16=x+5x

Now, lest group terms from variable 'x', for that, subtract -2x to both sides of equation,

-16=x+5x-2x

We have.

-16=4x

Isolating x, we have x=-4

EXPLANATION

The total number of students can be calculated by adding all the frequencies.

From the graph the total frequency is,

$39+117+78+26 =260$

The number of students who intend to go into state or local government after graduation is 78.

The percentage of students who intend to go into state or local government after graduation

$= \frac{3}{10} \times 100\%$

$= 30\%$
