16-3x-\frac{2}{3}x=5
Subtract \frac{2}{3}x from both sides.
16-\frac{11}{3}x=5
Combine -3x and -\frac{2}{3}x to get -\frac{11}{3}x.
-\frac{11}{3}x=5-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-\frac{11}{3}x=-11
Subtract 16 from 5 to get -11.
x=-11\left(-\frac{3}{11}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{3}{11}, the reciprocal of -\frac{11}{3}.
x=3
Multiply -11 times -\frac{3}{11}.
