To solve the equation 3/2x - 4 = 16, we can begin by adding 4 to both sides:

3/2x - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4
3/2x = 20

Next, we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2 (which is 2/3) to isolate x:

(2/3)(3/2x) = (2/3)20
x = 40/3

Therefore, x = 40/3 or x = 13.333 (rounded to the nearest thousandth). Neither of the given answer choices accurately reflect this result, so none of the options provided are correct.
