x = -80

Step-by-step explanation:

x/16 = -5

Multiply each side by 16

x/16 * 16 = -5 * 16

x = -80

x= -80

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

We want to solve for x, so we must isolate it.

x is being divided by 16. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 16.

Let's check our solution.

Plug -80 in for x and solve.

This checks out, so we know our solution is correct.

The solution to the equation x/16=-5 is x= -80
