The first step would be to isolate the x. so add 6 to both sides.

Answer:
first step is to add 6 on both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
the first step needed to solve 2 over 5 multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 16
[tex]\frac{2}{5} x - 6 = -16[/tex]
To solve for x we need to get 'x' alone
To get 'x' alone we need to remove the constant (number) without having x
Here -6 is a constant
Opposite operation of -6 i s+6
To eliminate -6 we add 6 on both sides
[tex]\frac{2}{5} x - 6+6= -16+6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2}{5} x= -10[/tex]
So first step is to add 6 on both sides
