How do you do 16 plus 8 plus 3x plus 4 equals -6x-5x?

Answer 1

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
