We have the following equation,

and we need to find x. Then, by subtracting 16 to both sides, we have

$\begin{gathered} 16-16-2x=88-16 \\ 0-2x=72 \\ -2x=72 \end{gathered}$

and by dividing both sides by -2, we get

$\begin{gathered} x=(72)/(-2) \\ x=-(72)/(2) \end{gathered}$

which gives

Therefore, the answer is x= -36
