Answer 7

Expand:
5+8X−16=−X−15X+10

2) Simplify 5+8X−16 to 8X−11
8X−11=−X−15X+10

3) Simplify −X−15X+10 to −16X+10
8X−11=−16X+10

4) Add 11 to both sides
8X=−16X+10+11

5) Simplify −16X+10+11 to −16X+21
8X=−16X+21

6) Add 16X to both sides
8X+16X=21

7) Simplify 8X+16X to 24X
24X=21

8) Divide both sides by 24
X=21/24

9) Simplify 21/24 to 7/8
X=7/8

Answer 8

is this from http://www.mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html by any chance?

Answer 9

i like your thinking but don't get it

Answer 10

Ok, one sec.

Answer 11

Expand this: 5+2(4X-8)=-X-5(3X-2), and you'll get 5+8x-16 = -x-15x+10

Answer 12

Shift the +5 and -16 to the other side, so then the +5 will become -5 and the -16 will change to +16. So: 8x=-16x+10-5+16

Answer 13

Shift the -16x to the left side and it'll become positive 16x, so: 8x+16x=10-5+16

Answer 14

So, we will get after solving these: 24x=21

Answer 15

Then finally, we will get x= 21/24. They are divisible by 3 so, divide them by 3. The final answer will be x=7/8. I hope it helped :/
