    Step-by-step explanation:

    first distribute the 3 to (x+3) resulting in 3x+9-5+16

    then combine the 9 and - 5 which equals 3x+4=16

    then subtract the 4 from both sides and you will get 3x=12

    and divide the 3 to get x by itself and you will get an answer of x=4

    x = 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (x + 3) - 5 = 16

    First, distribute the 3 on the left side.

    3x + 9 - 5 = 16

    Now, combine like terms on the left side.

    3x + 4 = 16

    Subtract 4 from both sides.

    3x = 12

    Divide both sides by 3.

    x = 4
