Question

What is the solution for x in the equation? 16x − 4 + 5x = -67

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{x = -3}$

Step-by-step 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 2

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step 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
