## Stephhaniiee 3 years ago Solve for x: x + 16 / 3 = 3x

1. lexiamee

What Do You Think Is First? Divide?

2. mayankdevnani

-2x=-16/3 x=16/3*2

3. mayankdevnani

can you solve it

4. gerryliyana

x + 16 / 3 = 3x -2x = 16/3 x = -16/6

5. surdawi

x + 16 / 3 = 3x -x -x 16/3=2x /2 /2 8/3=x

16. gerryliyana

i am

17. gerryliyana

i am agreed

18. farmdawgnation

Is the problem $$x + \frac{16}{3}$$ or $$\frac{x + 16}{3}$$?

19. farmdawgnation
