-16 = 8x/5......8x/5 is the same as 8/5(x)
-16 = (8/5)x...divide both sides by 8/5
-16 / (8/5) = x
-16 * 5/8 = x
-80/8 = x
-10 = x <===
First, you expand it.
2x - 6x + 3 = 3 - 4x
Now, simplify.
-4x + 3 = - 4x
Cancel out the double "4x"
3 = 3
Since both side have an equal answer, there in an infinite number of answers.
Hope this helps! ☺♥
