Answer:

3(x+16)= 4x-8

x=56

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+16)= 4x-8

use distributive property

3x+48=4x-8

add 8 to each side

3x+56=4x

subtract 3x from 4x

56=x

check work

3(56+16)=4(56)-8

distributive property again

168+48= 224-8

add the left side

216=224-8

subtract the right side

216=216
