16+5x =8x-5
Reorder the terms
16+5x = -5+8x
Solving for variable for x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add -8x to each side of the equation.
16+ -3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x=-3x
16+-3x = -5 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
16+-3x = -5 + 0
16+ -3x = -5
Add -16 to each side of the equation
16+-16 + -3x = -5 + 16
Combine like terms: 16+ -16 = 0
0 + -3x =-5 + -16
-3x = -5 + -16
combine like terms: -5 + -16 = -21
-3x = -21
Divide each side by -3
x=7
You need to add what the lines are if you want them to be analysed for you^^
- the number 0 — additive identity
- a(b+c) = ab+ac — the distributive property
- an equation containing more than one variable — literal equation
- the number 1 — multiplicative identity
- the reciprocal of a number — multiplicative inverse
If x ≠ 0, then 1/x is its multiplicative inverse — true.
The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 — true.
Let me work this out really quick and I'll get back to you
3/(5/4) = x/1
x = 12/5 = 2.4 Problems/h
