Solve 5(x+2)=16-4(x+6)

Evaluate

5 (x + 2) = 16 - 4 (x + 6)

Calculate

More Steps

5 x + 10 = 16 - 4 (x + 6)

Calculate

More Steps

5 x + 10 = - 8 - 4 x

Move the expression to the left side

5 x + 10 - (- 8 - 4 x) = 0

Calculate the sum or difference

More Steps

9 x + 18 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

9 x = 0 - 18

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

9 x = - 18

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{- 18}{9}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 18}{9}
