To solve the equation \(6x + 16 = 2x\), follow these steps:
Move all terms involving \(x\) to one side: Subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \[ 6x - 2x + 16 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x + 16 = 0 \]
Isolate the \(x\) term: Subtract 16 from both sides: \[ 4x = -16 \]
Solve for \(x\): Divide both sides by 4: \[ x = \frac{-16}{4} = -4 \]
So, the solution to the equation \(6x + 16 = 2x\) is \(x = -4\).
