Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find [tex]x[/tex], we need to solve the equation
[tex]G=H[/tex]
Where [tex]G=5x+8[/tex] and [tex]H=7x-16[/tex].
Replacing expressions, we have
[tex]5x+8=7x-16\\16+8=7x+5x\\24=12x\\x=\frac{24}{12}\\ x=2[/tex]
Now, we can find the value of each expression.
[tex]G=5x+8=5(2)+8=10+8=18\\H=7x-16=7(2)-16=14-16=-2[/tex]
