16x - 5 = 18x - 2
-16x = -16x

-5 = 2x - 2
+2 = +2

You have to combine like numbers and letters
First start by adding the two to each side (Thus cancelling the 2 from the right side)
So you have 16x-3=18x
Now combine the X's by subtracting 16x from either side
-3=2x
You need to get the x alone. So, divide each side by 2
You end up with x=-3/2

Take the total equation and divide by 2. 2(8x^2+38x+40 5) Then then make into 2 binomials.... (2x+5)(4x+9) then ur answer must be 2(2x+5)(4x+9) Then examine multiply by.

subtract 16x from both sides
add 2 to both sides
divide what's remaining.
