Verified answer

6=2(x+8)-5x,

6=2x+16-5x,

6=2x-5x+16,

6=-3x+16,

-3x=6-16,

-3x=-10,

3x=10,

x=10/3.

Answer: 10/3. B.

2(x + 8) - 5x = 6

2x + 16 - 5x = 6

- 3x + 16 = 6

- 3x = - 10

x = 3 1/3.

B. 3 1/3 is correct.

6=2(X+8) - 5x

6= 2X + 16 - 5X

6= -3X + 16

3X = 16-6 =10

X = 10/3 or 3 1/3 --> B

6=2x+16-5x

6=-3x+16

-10=-3x

-10/3=x

so its D!!

6 = 2x + 16 - 5x

- 10 = - 3x

10 = 3x

x = 10/3

x = 3 ⅓ <--------Option B
