56-х=16

To solve for x, we need to isolate the x variable on one side of the equation.

56 - x = 16

First, let's subtract 56 from both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the right side:

56 - 56 - x = 16 - 56

This simplifies to:

• x = -40

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to change the sign of x:

-1 * -x = -1 * -40

This gives us:

x = 40

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation 56 - x = 16 is x = 40.
