16/3x-4 = 5/x
16x = 5(3x - 4)
16x = 15x - 20
16x - 15x = -20
x = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
this is your answer.........
Answer:
the answer I got is negative 4
f your number is x, then the difference between that number and 8 would be x-8. Twice that is 2(x-8)
Three times the sum of the number and 3 would be 3(x+3). So, you get the equation:
2(x-8)=3(x+3)
2x-16=3x+9
x=-25
