8x-16=3x+16 (add 1 and 15)
8x-3x=16+16 (move like terms to one side : Subtract 3x from both sides and add 16 to both
sides
5x=32 (Subtract 3x from 8x, then add 16 to 16)
x=32/5 (divide both sides by 5)
or x=6.4 if you would rather a decimal

1. Distribute 2 to x+6
10+2x+12 = -10
2x+22 = -10
Subtract 22 from both sides
2x=-32
x=-16
2.Distribute 8 to x-2 and 3 to x+5
8x-16 = 3x+15+1
Subtract 3x from both sides and add 16 to both too
5x=32
x=32/5 (32 divided by 5)
