16-5x+2x=9
Add 2x to both sides.
16-3x=9
Combine -5x and 2x to get -3x.
-3x=9-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-3x=-7
Subtract 16 from 9 to get -7.
x=\frac{-7}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{7}{3}
Fraction \frac{-7}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{7}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
