-16x-2x-\left(-5\right)-33=0
To find the opposite of 2x-5, find the opposite of each term.
-16x-2x+5-33=0
The opposite of -5 is 5.
-18x+5-33=0
Combine -16x and -2x to get -18x.
-18x-28=0
Subtract 33 from 5 to get -28.
-18x=28
Add 28 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{28}{-18}
Divide both sides by -18.
x=-\frac{14}{9}
Reduce the fraction \frac{28}{-18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
