Solve for x 4x+16-x=22+6

$4 x + 16 - x = 22 + 6$

Step 1

Subtract $x$ from $4 x$ .

$3 x + 16 = 22 + 6$

Step 2

Add $22$ and $6$ .

$3 x + 16 = 28$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $16$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 x = 28 - 16$

Subtract $16$ from $28$ .

$3 x = 12$

Step 4

Divide each term in $3 x = 12$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 x = 12$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{12}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{12}{3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{12}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $12$ by $3$ .

$x = 4$
