Question

X-16=-4+7x ..........

Answer 1

X-7x=-4+16
-6x=12/:-1
6x=-12
X=-3

Answer 2

To solve the given equation for x, follow these steps:

1. Expand the equation: $X - 16 = -4 + 7X$

2. Simplify the equation by moving all terms involving $x$ to one side and constants to the other side: $X - 7X = -4 + 16$

3. Combine like terms: $-6X = 12$

4. Divide both sides by -6 to solve for $x$: $X = -\frac{12}{6}$

5. Simplify the fraction: $X = -2$
