Answer:
2) Add 21 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
When solving [tex]16x-21=52[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex], our goal to isolate [tex]x[/tex] such that we have [tex]x[/tex] set equal to something.
Therefore, we want to start by adding 21 to both sides. This leaves us with [tex]16x=73[/tex] and we are one step closer to isolating [tex]x[/tex].
