DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at -16=highlight_red%28+5.5+%29%2Bx%2Bhighlight_red%28+3.5+%29.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes -16=highlight_green%28+90%2F10+%29%2Bx.
Look at -16=highlight_red%28+90%2F10+%29%2Bx.
Moved 90%2F10 to the right of expression
It becomes -16=x%2Bhighlight_green%28+90%2F10+%29.
Look at -16=x%2Bhighlight_red%28+90+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+10+%29.
Factors 90 and 10 have greatest common factor (GCF) of 10. Reducing fraction.
It becomes -16=x%2Bhighlight_green%28+9+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29.
Look at -16=x%2B9%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29
It becomes -16=x%2B9.
Look at -16=highlight_red%28+x%2B9+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+-x+%29,highlight_green%28+-9+%29
It becomes -16-highlight_green%28+x+%29-highlight_green%28+9+%29=0.
Look at -highlight_red%28+16+%29-x-highlight_red%28+9+%29=0.
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes highlight_green%28+-25+%29-x=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-25+%29-x=0.
Moved -25 to the right of expression
It becomes -x%2Bhighlight_green%28+-25+%29=0.
Look at -x%2Bhighlight_red%28+-25+%29=0.
Removed extra sign in front of -25
It becomes -x-highlight_green%28+25+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+-x-25+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+-x-25=0+%29 equivalent to -x-25 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: x=-25.
