Well, whenever we see fractions we should try to get rid of the denominator. So in order to do that we need to find the greatest common factor in both sides. In this case it is 8. So we multiply both sides by 8. The result should be:3x-16=24x-2Next, get variables on one side numbers on the other.-14=21xDivide to get x alone and simplify. So the answer to this problem would be -2/3
