If 2x - 16x - 96 = 0, then:

-14x = 96

-7x = 48

x = -48/7

Given the wording of your question though, I would guess that you are actually looking for solutions to this equation:

2x2 - 16x -96 = 0

Which we can solve as follows:

2x2 - 16x - 96 = 0

x2 - 8x - 48 = 0

x2 - 12x + 4x - 48 = 0

x(x - 12) + 4(x - 12) = 0

(x + 4)(x - 12) = 0

So x can be equal to either -4 or 12
