<span>−5x − 16 = 8                   Proof=Given
</span><span>−5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16   Proof=Addition Property of Equality
</span>−5x = 24                         Proof=Addition Property of Equality
<span>-5x/5=24/5                      This is where we find his fault. You have to divide by whatever the number that alters the variable is. In this case, that's -5. The answer is therefore D. Step 3: He should have divided both sides by 5.
