13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x
Simplify 13x - 16 - 10x to 3x - 16
3x - 16 = 12 - 11x
Add 16 to both sides
3x = 12 - 11x + 16
Simplify 12 - 11x + 16 to -11x + 28
3x = -11x + 28
Add 11x to both sides
3x + 11x = 28
Simplify 3x + 11x to 14x
14x = 28
Divide both sides by 14
x = 28/14
Simplify 28/14 to 2
x = 2
