What steps would you take in order to solve the equation 38 = 6x – 16?

Hello! to solve equations you want to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. to do so you will use the inverse operation of a number on both sides of the equation.  first, you will want to remove the  terms (the numbers that were added or subtracted. in this case we will get rid of -16 by adding 16 to both sides. this will remove the zero from one side and move it to the other.38+16=6x-16+1654=6xnow we will undo the coefficient. since it us multiplied, we will divide both sides by 6, leaving x isolated, showing what it equals.54/6=6x/69=xour answer is x=9, and the steps are shown above.i hope this !
