Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
30 - 6x = x+16
Add 6x to each side
30 -6x+6x = x+16+6x
30 = 7x+16
Subtract 16 from each side
30-16 = 7x+16-16
14 = 7x
Divide each side by 7
14/7 = 7x/7
2 =x
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be x
given, 30 decreased by 6 times the number=30-6x
that is same as 16 more than the number= x+16
equating these 2 equations since they are equal
30-6x=x+16
6x+x=30-16
7x=14
x=2
The req. number is 2
