Answer:

x = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x/16 - (x + 2)/8 = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Multiply both sides by 16: x - 2(x + 2) = 32
  2. Distribute -2: x - 2x - 4 = 32
  3. Combine like terms: -x - 4 = 32
  4. Add 4 to both sides: -x = 36
  5. Divide both sides by -1: x = -36

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

-36/16 - (-36 + 2)/8 = 2

-9/4 - -34/8 = 2

-9/4 + 17/4 = 2

8/4 = 2

2 = 2
