Question

solve for x 16-5x=6​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

16 - 5x = 6

- 5x = 6 - 16

- 5x = - 10

x = 10/5

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$16 - 5 x = 6 \quad :\quad x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$16 - 5 x = 6$

$\textrm{Subtract } 16 \textrm{ from both sides }$

$1 6 - 5 x - 1 6 = 6 - 1 6$

$\mathrm{ S i m p l i f y }$

$- 5 x = - 10$

$\textrm{As we have to isolate x, let's divide both sides by } -5$

$\dfrac{-5x}{-5} = \dfrac{-10}{-5}$

$\mathrm{ S i m p l i f y }$

$x = 2$

$\therefore \textrm{ The value of x = 2. }$
