Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x-16}{x+6}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5x - 80 = 3x + 18 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 80 = 18 ( add 80 to both sides )

2x = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 49
