Question

-16 = 4/3x-8 how do you solve this problem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify $\frac{4}{3} x$ to $\frac{4x}{3}$

$-16=\frac{4x}{3} -8$

2. Add 8 to both sides

$-16+8=\frac{4x}{3}$

3. Simplify the right side by adding

$-8=\frac{4x}{3}$

4. Multiply both sides by three, getting rid of our fraction

$-8*3=4x$

5. Simplify the right side by multiplying

$-24=4x$

6. Divide both sides by 4 to remove the 4x

$-\frac{24}{4} =x$

7. Simplify 24/4 to 6

$-6=x$

8. Switch the sides of the equation so to be in a proper format

$x=-6$
