Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x + 4 - 3x + 8 = 16

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms: 2x + 12 = 16

Subtract 12 on both sides: 2x = 4

Divide both sides by 2: x = 2

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

5(2) + 4 - 3(2) + 8 = 16

10 + 4 - 6 + 8 = 16

14 - 6 + 8 = 16

8 + 8 = 16

16 = 16

Answer:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5x + 4 - 3x + 8 = 16[/tex]

[tex]2x+4+8=16[/tex]

[tex]2x+12=16[/tex]

Subtract 12 from both sides:

[tex]2x+12-12=16-12[/tex]

[tex]2x=4[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]
