First set up the equation based on the description.

\(\frac{1}{3}\) x + 16 = 3x

Use subtraction to get the "x"s on one side of the equation. You can next subtract \(\frac{1}{3}\) x from both sides.

16 = \(\frac{8}{3}\) x

Now you can multiply both sides of the equation by \(\frac{3}{8}\)  to solve for x

x = 6
