Start by adding x to both sides:
16+x=-9-17
Then subtract 16 from both sides
x=-9-17-16
x=-42
Now:
16=-(-42)-9-17 or 16=42-9-17
16=16

First combine like terms… basically get x all by itself…
16+9+17=-x-9-17+9+17
42=-x
divide by -1
x=-42
check:
-(-42)-9-17=16
42-9-17=16
you are right!

16 = -x -9 – 17
16 + x = -9 – 17
x = -9 -17 -16
x = -42
I hope this helps.

16= -x (-9-17)
16= -x + -26
42= -x
42/ -1
x = -42
