Hi
3/2 (5x + 7) = 16
|| Good Work!
5x + 7 = 32/3 ||****
5x = 32/3-21/3
5x = 11/3
x = 11/15

check you answer.
(5(3.4)+7) = (17+7) = = 36
not correct
...
(5x+7) = 16
...
(5x+7) = 16
5x + 7 = *** You erred only here where you have 5x+7=. Appears you multiply 16 instead of 16.
...
Multiply both sides by 3
15x + 21 = 32
...
15x = 32 - 21
...
15x = 11
