\left(-\frac{16}{a}\right)wa=5a
Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
\frac{-16w}{a}a=5a
Express \left(-\frac{16}{a}\right)w as a single fraction.
\frac{-16wa}{a}=5a
Express \frac{-16w}{a}a as a single fraction.
-16w=5a
Cancel out a in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{-16w}{-16}=\frac{5a}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
w=\frac{5a}{-16}
Dividing by -16 undoes the multiplication by -16.
w=-\frac{5a}{16}
Divide 5a by -16.
