    -16 = 8x/5 ... 8x/5 is the same as 8/5 (x)

    -16 = (8/5) x ... divide both sides by 8/5

    -16 / (8/5) = x

    -16 * 5/8 = x

    -80/8 = x

    -10 = x <===

    First, we multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraciton:

    5 (x-16) = 8x

    distribute to get

    5x-80=8x

    subtract from both sides 5x

    -80=3x

    divide both sides by 3 to get

    x = - 80/3 or around - 26.667
