5x+8=-16+7x
Subtract 5x from both sides and add 16 to both sides
24 = 2x divide both sides by 2
12 = x
so u want to put the x together and the number together in order to find the value of x.
firstly, add 16 to Both sides, this gives : 5x+24=7x
then take away 5x from both sides, this gives : 7x = 24
x= 24/7
x =3.4285.....
