Solve 16+7x-5+x=11x-3+x

$$16 + 7 x - 5 + x = 11 x - 3 + x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{7}{2} = 3\frac{1}{2} = 3.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 5 from 16 to get 11.

$$11+7x+x=11x-3+x$$

Combine 7x and x to get 8x.

$$11+8x=11x-3+x$$

Combine 11x and x to get 12x.

$$11+8x=12x-3$$

Subtract 12x from both sides.

$$11+8x-12x=-3$$

Combine 8x and -12x to get -4x.

$$11-4x=-3$$

Subtract 11 from both sides.

$$-4x=-3-11$$

Subtract 11 from -3 to get -14.

$$-4x=-14$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$x=\frac{-14}{-4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-14}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$x=\frac{7}{2}$$
