Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6x + 7 = 3x + 16[/tex]
First, let's move all of the terms with an [tex]x[/tex] to the left-hand side of the equation, and everything else to the right-hand side of the equation:
[tex]6x - 3x = 16 - 7[/tex]
[tex]3x = 9[/tex]
Now, let's divide both sides by [tex]3[/tex] to isolate the [tex]x[/tex] on the left-hand side:
[tex]\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 3[/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]x[/tex] in the above equation is [tex]3[/tex].
