To solve -83 = -16 + x, which of the following could you do to both sides of the equation? add 16. subtract 16. multiply by -16. divide by -16.

Add 16 is the correct answer because this means that x would be alone, thus giving you an answer of x = -67

Hello, your answer would be  add 16.why? simply if you add 16 to both sides, you'll get an equal equation to the precedent one, as the rule says and -16 and +16 are opposites so they both cancel out leaving the x alone.
