But seriously, you should probably ask a friend to go over this with you. It's not the answer that matters, it's that you understand HOW to get to the answer. It may seem like a lot of work right now, but you'll be really happy that you learned the necessary skills.
my god. isnt that just basic algebra? why dont you consult ur textbook/teacher/friends before you ask such qns here. ppl ard here arent here to do your homework for you.

+6x to the -x.
it will be: 16+5x=-4
then subtract the 16
it should end up being: 5x=-20
divide by 5 and x should equal -4
X = - 4
Add 6x to both sides, which makes 16+5x=-4, then subtract 16 to both sides, which would be 5x=-20, then divide by 5 and the answer would be x=-4.
x = -4

16+4=-6x+x
20=-5x
20/(-5)=x
-4=x
so therfore the answer is -4
16-x=-4-6x?
16-x+x=-4-6x+x
16=-4-5x
16+4=-4+4-5x
20=-5x
20/-5 = -5x/-5
-4 = x
Theres your answer friend
