3(2x + 1) - 2(x - 5) - 5(5 - 2x) = 16

Hello friend !

Your answer :)

=> 3(2x + 1) - 2(x - 5) - 5(5 - 2x) = 16

=> 6x + 3 - 2x + 10 - 25 + 10x = 16

=> 6x - 2x + 10x = 16 - 3 - 10 + 25

=> 4x + 10x = 13 -10 + 25

=> 14x = 3 + 25

=> 14x = 28

=> x = 28/14 

=> x = 2 

Therefore the required answer is 2 

:-) Hope it helps !
