16 = (-5+z)/(4)

Multiply both sides by 4


16* 4 = (-5+z)/(4) * 4


64 = -5+z

Rearrange the terms


64 = z - 5

Add 5 on both sides.


64 + 5 = z - 5 + 5


\boxed{\bf{z = 69}}


Your final answer is a. 69.

If you would like to solve the equation 16 = (- 5 + z) / 4, you can do this using the following steps:

16 = (- 5 + z) / 4 /*4
16 * 4 = - 5 + z
16 * 4 + 5 = z
z = 69

The correct result would be a. 69.
