Answer:

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2(bx - 5) = 16 ← substitute b = 3

- 2(3x - 5) = 16 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

3x - 5 = - 8 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 1

I decided to do a addition problem because based on the answer it couldn't be multiplication, subtraction, or division. Therefore, my problem would look like 15+9=24 birds in total.
