Answer:
x = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-16 = \frac{8x}{5}\\\\-16 \times 5 = \frac{8x}{5} \times 5 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ multiply\ both \ sides \ by \ 5 \ ]\\\\-80 = 8x \\\\\frac{-80}{8} = \frac{8x}{8} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 8 \ ]\\\\-10 = x[/tex]
