110%2B3x%2B11=16x%2B4 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B121=16x%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=16x%2B4-121 Subtract 121 from both sides.


3x-16x=4-121 Subtract 16x from both sides.


-13x=4-121 Combine like terms on the left side.


-13x=-117 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-117%29%2F%28-13%29 Divide both sides by -13 to isolate x.


x=9 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=9
