Solve the equations by combining like terms. show all the steps: 16x − 4x = -48 guys, i'm desperate, yall a friend out! in advance : )

You can combine like/similar terms if the number has the same x at the end, or if the like terms are all regular numbers.
Since 16x and -4x both have an x, you can combine them like you usually would.
16x - 4x = 12x
12x = -48
If you want to solve the equation, you’d divide both numbers by 12 to get your singular x value.
x = -4

Hope that helped! :)
