Question 696723
{{{7x+4=5x+16}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7x=5x+16-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{7x-5x=16-4}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=16-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(12)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.
