A.
x=-12


16+(2)/(5)x=(-3)/(5)x+4

Fraction
(-3)/(5) can be rewritten as
-(3)/(5) by extracting the negative sign.


16+(2)/(5)x=-(3)/(5)x+4

Add
(3)/(5)x to both sides.


16+(2)/(5)x=(3)/(5)x+4

Combine
(2)/(5)x and
(3)/(5)x to get
x


16+x=4

Subtract 16 from both sides.


x=4-16

Subtract 16 from 4 to get -12


x=-12

Hope this helps!
