Question
Solve the equation
x=−16
Evaluate
x−16+x+48=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
x−16+x+48
Add the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(1+1)x
Add the numbers
2x
2x−16+48
Add the numbers
2x+32
2x+32=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=0−32
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x=−32
Divide both sides
22x=2−32
Divide the numbers
x=2−32
