Simplifying
3x + -4y = 16

Solving
3x + -4y = 16

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4y' to each side of the equation.
3x + -4y + 4y = 16 + 4y

Combine like terms: -4y + 4y = 0
3x + 0 = 16 + 4y
3x = 16 + 4y

Divide each side by '3'.
x = 5.333333333 + 1.333333333y

Simplifying
x = 5.333333333 + 1.333333333y
