2x-3=5x+16
Add 7 and 9 to get 16.
2x-3-5x=16
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x-3=16
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x=16+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-3x=19
Add 16 and 3 to get 19.
x=\frac{19}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=-\frac{19}{3}
Fraction \frac{19}{-3} can be rewritten as -\frac{19}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
