Answer:
x = 7 (i think..)
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 (4 - 3x) = 5x + 16
* multiple -3 to each number in the parenthesis
-12 + 9x = 5x + 16
* add 12 to both sides to cancel it and combine like terms on the other side
9x = 5x + 28
* subtract 5x from both sides to cancel it out and combine like terms
4x = 28
* divide 4 from both sides to get x alone
x = 7
