Answer: x = 21/4

First, you want to Add 5 to both sides of the equation:

4x - 5 + 5 = 16 + 5.

Then you want to simplify:

4x = 21.

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

4x/4 = 21/4.

Then you want to simplify:

x = 21/4.

The final solution is:

x = 21/4

Exact Form:

x = 21/4

Decimal Form:

x = 5.25

Mixed Number Form:

x = 5 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps =)
