6-8x-16=3-2x

Solve for x:

1. Simplify left side: 6 - 8x - 16 = -8x - 10, so -8x - 10 = 3 - 2x.
2. Move x-terms to one side: add 2x to both sides → -6x - 10 = 3.
3. Move constants: add 10 → -6x = 13.
4. Divide by -6: x = -13/6 ≈ -2.1667.

Check: Left = 6 - 8(-13/6) - 16 = 22/3, Right = 3 - 2(-13/6) = 22/3, so solution is correct.
