16+x=-6x-x
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
16+x=-7x
Combine -6x and -x to get -7x.
16+x+7x=0
Add 7x to both sides.
16+8x=0
Combine x and 7x to get 8x.
8x=-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-16}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=-2
Divide -16 by 8 to get -2.
