Given problem is not written with the correct number of parenthesis. Note that there are 2 right parenthesis and 3 left parenthesis. There should always be the same number of right and left parenthesis.
..
My guess is that they included one too many left parenthesis and probably meant to write it like this: (-16 - (-2 + 1)) x 2 divided by 5.
=(-16+1)*2/5
=-15*2/5
=30/5=6
