Answer:

x = -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - 5 = 18x -2

Subtract 16x from each side

16x-16x - 5 = 18x-16x -2

-5 = 2x-2

Add 2 to each side

-5+2 = 2x-2+2

-3 = 2x

Divide by 2

-3/2 = 2x/2

-3/2 =x

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, start by moving all of your x's on to one side, and all of your constants on to the other as such:

16x-5=18x-2

     +2       +2

16x-3=18x

-16x    -16x

-3=2x

-3/2 = x
