To solve -83 = -16 + x, which of the following could you do to both sides of the equation?

1.)Divide by -16.
2.)Multiply by -16.
3.)Add 16.
4.)Subtract 16.

which one

3) Add 16.

Explanation:

To manipulate our equation and solve for a variable, we do the inverse operation, or the 'opposite.'

The opposite of subtraction is addition.

By rearranging the equation, we can see that it really just says:

x - 16 = -83.

Now it becomes more clear that we add 16 on both sides to solve for x.
