$x = - 4$ $x=-4$

Move all the variables to one side and the number to the other.

$16 x + 36 - 36 - 7 x = 7 x - 7 x - 36$ $16x +36 color(red)(-36)color(blue)(-7x) = 7x color(blue)(-7x) color(red)(-36)$

$16 x - 7 x = - 36$ $16x -7x = -36$

$9 x = - 36$ $9x= -36$

$x = - 4$ $x = -4$

How do you solve 16x+36=7x16x + 36= 7x?
