-16x+\frac{6}{2}-\frac{5}{2}=0
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.
-16x+\frac{6-5}{2}=0
Since \frac{6}{2} and \frac{5}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-16x+\frac{1}{2}=0
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
-16x=-\frac{1}{2}
Subtract \frac{1}{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=\frac{-1}{2\left(-16\right)}
Express \frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-16} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-1}{-32}
Multiply 2 and -16 to get -32.
x=\frac{1}{32}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-32} can be simplified to \frac{1}{32} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
