To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, we can simplify both sides of the equation by combining like terms:
9x + 16 = 6x + 1
Subtract 6x from both sides:
3x + 16 = 1
Subtract 16 from both sides:
3x = -15
Finally, divide by 3 to solve for x:
x = -5
Therefore, the solution for x is -5.
