I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's solve the equation correctly.
To solve the equation 2(x + 9) = 16, we need to simplify and isolate x.
First, distribute the 2 to the terms within the parentheses:
2x + 18 = 16
Next, subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:
2x + 18 - 18 = 16 - 18
2x = -2
Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = -2/2
x = -1
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2(x + 9) = 16 is x = -1.
