Answer :
[tex]6x-5=3x-16 \ \ |+5 \\ \\ 6x=3x-16+5 \\ \\6x=3x-11 \ \ | -3x \\ \\6x-3x = -11 \\ \\3x = -11 \ \ / :3 \\ \\ x=-\frac{11}{3}\\ \\x=-3\frac{2}{3} [/tex]
provided question,
6x - 5 = 3x - 16
re - ordering the question , we have,
6x - 3x = -16 + 5
3x = -11
thus, x = -11/3
6x - 5 = 3x - 16
re - ordering the question , we have,
6x - 3x = -16 + 5
3x = -11
thus, x = -11/3
