Answer:
16 -x= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the sumber be x.
When 16 is decreased by a number, that number is subtracted from 16. The result after the subtraction (the number that appears on the right-hand side of the equal sign) would then be 5.
This can be represented by the equation:
16 -x= 15
To solve for x, we bring all the constants to one side of the equation:
-x= 15 -16
-x= -1
Divide both sides by -1:
x= 1
