50x+16=6\left(x+2\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 50\left(x+2\right).
50x+16=6x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by x+2.
50x+16-6x=12
Subtract 6x from both sides.
44x+16=12
Combine 50x and -6x to get 44x.
44x=12-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
44x=-4
Subtract 16 from 12 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{44}
Divide both sides by 44.
x=-\frac{1}{11}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{44} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
