Solve the equation X+16=9x explain

Since your solving for x you have to get x on the same side by itself.

x+16=9x

begin by subtracting x from both sides which gives you: 16=9x-x or 16=8x

then divide by 8 from both sides so: 16/8=8/8x

which equals 2=x

plug 2 back into the original equation to be sure:

2+16=9 (2)

18=18 so x=2

X=2

(2) + 16=9 (2)

(2 plus 16 is equal to 9 times 2)

18=18
