2x-5x-16=3-2\left(3x-4\right)
To find the opposite of 5x+16, find the opposite of each term.
-3x-16=3-2\left(3x-4\right)
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x-16=3-6x+8
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x-4.
-3x-16=11-6x
Add 3 and 8 to get 11.
-3x-16+6x=11
Add 6x to both sides.
3x-16=11
Combine -3x and 6x to get 3x.
3x=11+16
Add 16 to both sides.
3x=27
Add 11 and 16 to get 27.
x=\frac{27}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=9
Divide 27 by 3 to get 9.
