Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=\dfrac{9}{8}=1\dfrac{1}{8}=1.125}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x+16x-3-2=22\qquad|\text{combine like terms}\\\\(8x+16x)+(-3-2)=22\\\\24x-5=22\qquad|\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\24x=27\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\x=\dfrac{27}{24}\\\\x=\dfrac{27:3}{24:3}\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{8}$
