Solve the equation:

\[ 8 - \frac{1}{3}x = 16 \]

8 − 3 1 ​ x = 16 − 3 1 ​ x = 16 − 8 − 3 1 ​ x = 8 / ∗ ( − 3 ) − 3 1 ​ ∗ ( − 3 ) x = 8 ∗ ( − 3 ) x = − 24

The value of the **variable **"x" in the algebraic-**expression **"8 - (1/3)x = 16" is -24.
To find the value of "x" in the **algebraic **expression "8 - (1/3)x = 16", we use algebraic techniques to isolate the variable "x".
First, we start by subtracting 8 from both sides of the **equation **to separate the term with "x" on one side:
⇒ 8 - 8 - (1/3)x = 16 - 8
Simplifying the equation:
⇒ -(1/3)x = 8
Next, to solve for "x", we multiply both sides of the equation by -3, which will cancel out the fraction :
⇒ -3 × (-(1/3)x) = -3 × 8,
Simplifying further:
We get,
x = -24
Therefore, the required value of the variable "x" is -24.
