-16-5x=-16+48x
Use the distributive property to multiply -8 by 2-6x.
-16-5x-48x=-16
Subtract 48x from both sides.
-16-53x=-16
Combine -5x and -48x to get -53x.
-53x=-16+16
Add 16 to both sides.
-53x=0
Add -16 and 16 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -53 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
