16-2\times 3x=-x-24
Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 4,8.
16-6x=-x-24
Multiply -2 and 3 to get -6.
16-6x+x=-24
Add x to both sides.
16-5x=-24
Combine -6x and x to get -5x.
-5x=-24-16
Subtract 16 from both sides.
-5x=-40
Subtract 16 from -24 to get -40.
x=\frac{-40}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=8
Divide -40 by -5 to get 8.
