To solve this equation, we need to first simplify by distributing the negative sign and then combining like terms.
(3-5.8x) - (2.2x+3) = 163 - 5.8x - 2.2x - 3 = 16-7.8x = 16-7.8x = 13x = -13/7.8x ≈ -1.67
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ -1.67.

3 - 5.8x - 2.2x - 3 = 16
-7.8x = 16
-7.8x = 13
x = -13/7.8
x ≈ -1.67
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ -1.67.
