Answer :
Answer:
x = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5+\dfrac{x}{2}=16\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\5-5+\dfrac{x}{2}=16-5\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}=11\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(2)(11)\\\\x=22[/tex]
[tex]\text{CHECK:}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to the equation:}\\\\5+\dfrac{22}{2}=16\\\\5+11=16\\\\16=16\qquad\bold{CORRECT}[/tex]
