The correct answer is 3.

To solve the equation 53 - 2x = 16, we first need to move the constant term to the other side of the equation by subtracting 53 from both sides:

53 - 53 - 2x = 16 - 53
-2x = -37

Next, divide by -2 to isolate x:

x = -37 / -2
x = 18.5

So, the solution to the equation is x = 18.5.
