That's going to depend on exactly what you want to 'do' to it.
If you think you might like to solve it for 'x', then try this:
16 + 8 + 3x + 4 = -6x - 5x
Combine the numbers on the left side:
28 + 3x = -6x -5x
Combine the 'x' terms on the right side:
28 + 3x = -11x
Subtract 3x from each side:
28 = -14x
Divide each side by -14:
-2 = x
no
x=6
7x + 16 = 3x + 4 4x = -12 x = -3
3x + 4 = 16 3x = 16 - 4 x = 12/3 x = 4
3x + 16 = 22 3x = 6 x = 6/3 x = 2
If: 3x+y = 16 Then: y = -3x+16 whereas -3 is the slope and 16 is the y intercept
3x - 2 + 5 = 16 3x + 3 = 16 3x = 13 x = 13/3 ~ 4.333

-2x + 3y = -7 3x + y = 16 simultaneous equations. Elimination a letter. Arbitrarily select 'y' Hence multiply the bottom eq'n by ' -3' Hence -2x + 3y = -7 -9x - 3y = -48 Add the eq'ns/ -11x = =55 x = -55/-11 = 5 When x = 5 , substitute into either eq'n for 'y' -2(5) + 3y = -7 -10 + 3y = -7 3y = 3 y = 1 Hence answer in ( x,y) fpr, is ( 5,1).
x = -8
