C
Step 1: 7x + 16 = 3x + 36[Original equation.]
Step 2: 7x + 16 - 16 = 3x + 36 - 16[Subtract 16 on both sides.]
Step 3: 7x = 3x + 20[Simplify.]
Step 4: 7x - 3x = 3x + 20 - 3x[Subtract 3x on both sides.]
Step 5: 4x = 20[Simplify.]
Step 6: 4x4 = 204[Divide by three on both sides.]
Step 7: x = 5[Simplify.]
