-(x)/(16)=5

Multiply each term in the equation by 16.
-(x)/(16)*16=5*16

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
-x=5*16

Multiply 5 by 16 to get 80.
-x=80

Multiply each term in the equation by -1.
-x*-1=80*-1

Multiply -x by -1 to get x.
x=80*-1

Multiply 80 by -1 to get -80.
x=-80
