Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 16) ÷ 3 = 3 x
x + 16 = 3 × 3 x
x + 16 = 9 x
16 = 8 x
∴ x = 2
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x in the problem, we will follow the steps below:
[tex]\frac{x+ 16}{3}[/tex] = 3x
Multiply both-side of the equation by 3
[tex]\frac{x+ 16}{3}[/tex] × 3 = 3x × 3
At the left-hand side of the equation 3 will cancel-out 3, hence our equation becomes;
x + 16 = 9x
Subtract x from both-side of the equation
x + 16 - x = 9x - x
16 = 8x
Divide both-side of the equation by 8
[tex]\frac{16}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8X}{8}[/tex]
On the right-hand side of the equation, 8 will cancel-out 8, leaving us with just x while on the left-hand side of the equation 16 will be divided by 8
2 = x
x = 2
