Question

How do you solve 2x-16=3+4?

Answer 1

X=11.5

Explanation:

2x-16=3+4

Let's collect like terms

2x=3+4+16

2x=7+16

2x=23

Divide both sides by 2

X=23/2

X=11.5

So the value for x is 11.5

Answer 2

x = 23/2

Explanation:

2x-16=3+4

Combine like terms

2x-16 = 7

Add 16 to each side

2x-16+16 =7+16

2x=23

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 23/2

x = 23/2
