I need help ASAP I need tu turn this in

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x-16=8x-3    Original Equation

-5x-8x-16= 8x-3-8x   Grouping variables

-13x -16 = -3     Simplification

-13x-16+16= -3+16   Grouping constants

-13x= 13            Simplification

-13x/-13= 13/-13   Isolating the variable

x= -1                  The answer

Checking the

plug in -1 to wherever x is

-5(-1) -16 = 8(-1) -3

5 - 16 = -8 - 3

-11 = -11

Your answer is correct

I hope this helps!!!

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
