Question 594549
{{{8x+3=16x-1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x=16x-1-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{8x-16x=-1-3}}} Subtract {{{16x}}} from both sides.



{{{-8x=-1-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-8x=-4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-4)/(-8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=1/2}}}
