Answer: -6x

Explanation:

Just subtract the coefficients:

The coefficient of 10x is 10

The coefficient of 16x is 16

now do ten minus 16 (TIP: if you don't really like negative numbers, then an easy way of subtracting 10-16 is 16-10=6, then add the negative sign to 6; -6)

10 - 16 = -6

Now put the x back: -6 = -6x

The correct answer is -6x
