16-4x=2\left(-5\right)x+3\times 3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,6,4.
16-4x=-10x+9x
Multiply 2 and -5 to get -10. Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
16-4x=-x
Combine -10x and 9x to get -x.
16-4x+x=0
Add x to both sides.
16-3x=0
Combine -4x and x to get -3x.
-3x=-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{16}{3}
Fraction \frac{-16}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{16}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
