7= 16 + 3x
7-16 = 3x
-9 = 3x
x = (-9)/(3)
x = -3

What the question? Tell me then I can maybe help
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of types of massages is represented by 4x + 3 and the number of types of manicures is represented by -6x + 5 and the number of types of pedicures is represented by 8x - 7, what is the expression for the total number of services they have to choose from?
Answers:
x = 4
EF = 14
CF = 7
EC = 7

Work Shown:
C is the midpoint of segment EF. This means that EC = CF. In other words, the two pieces are congruent.
Use substitution and solve for x
EC = CF
5x-13 = 3x-5
5x-13+13 = 3x-5+13
5x = 3x+8
5x-3x = 3x+8-3x
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Now that we know that x = 4, we can use this to find EC and CF
Let's compute EC
EC = 5x - 13
EC = 5*x - 13
EC = 5*4 - 13 ... replace x with 4
EC = 20 - 13
EC = 7
Let's compute CF
CF = 3x - 5
CF = 3*x - 5
CF = 3*4 - 5 ... replace x with 4
CF = 12 - 5
CF = 7
As expected, EC = CF (both are 7 units long).
By the segment addition postulate, we can say EC+CF = EF
EC+CF = EF
EF = EC+CF
EF = 7+7
EF = 14
