Answer:
x = -1.5
In fraction form:
[tex]x=-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations
Find the value of x such that the equality is true.
16x - 5 = 18x - 2
Subtract 18x:
16x - 18x - 5 = -2
Simplify:
-2x -5 = -2
Add 5:
-2x = -2 + 5
Operate:
-2x = 3
Divide by -2:
x = 3 / (-2)
x = -1.5
In fraction form:
[tex]x=-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
