Answer:
x = 8/49
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 21 from both sides of the equation.
16x + 21 = 212x - 11
16x + 21-21 = 212x -11 -21
Simplify. Subtract the numbers.
16x = 212x -32
Subtract 212x from both sides of the equation.
16x = 212x - 32
16x - 212x = 212x - 32-212x
Simplify and combine like terms.
-196x = -32
Divide both sides of the equation by the same term.
-196x = -32
-196x. -32
-------- = ---------
-196. -196
Simplify.
x= 8/49
