To determine the number of solutions for the equation 6x - (3x + 8) = 16, we simplify the equation:
6x - 3x - 8 = 16
Combining like terms, we get:
3x - 8 = 16
Next, we isolate the variable by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:
3x = 24
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 3:
x = 8
Therefore, the equation has exactly one solution.
