Easiest way
As u should add (+) or subtract (-) of like term only
So, we have x like term we get
131+331=5x-16x
As while collecting the like term if there is + sign in front we should - it but of we have - sign we should do +
And ans we get
While adding the 131+331 = 462
And subtracting 5x-16x = -11x
Now we must divide it
462/-11
We get - 42
So the value of x is - 42

The goal of this equation is to solve for x. So, we can start by combining like terms.
(16x) and (5x) are like terms, so we would subtract (5x) over to the other side.
131 + 16x - 5x = - 331 + 5x - 5x
131 + 11x = - 331
Then, we can combine the other like terms, which would be (131) and (-331). Subtract 131 on both sides.
131 - 131 + 11x = - 331 - 131
11x = - 462
Now, we need to divide the number before x, or the coefficient.
11x/11 = - 462/11
x = - 42
