Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 4) - 16 = 2(x - 8) + 6
(3x - 12) - 16 = (2x - 16) + 6 (multiply 3 with (x-4) , and 2 with (x-8))
3x - 28 = 2x - 10 (subtract the numbers,remember only the same qualities)(meaning we leave out 3x and 2x)
3x - 2x = -10 + 28 (move 2x to the left(becomes negative(minus)) and move -28 to the right(becomes positive)(do your calculations)
x = 18 (final answer)
