Can someone please solve this algebra question for me?

Question

i have a summer math packet and im having a lot of trouble with this problem.

HELP!

solve.

2/5 + 16= 0

(when i wrote 2 over 5 i didnt mean division, its a fraction)

Answer 1

That question you've been given is either a joke or you need to give US more info.

Answer 2

i think you need something more in your expression; there is no way you can add 2/5 and 16 to get zero...

is your question 2/5 x +16=0

if so, the solution is:

2/5 x =-16

x=-16x5/2

x=-40

Answer 3

Something is missing: 2/5 + 16 is just sixteen and two fifths, not zero.

Do you mean, for example, what is x if two-fifths of x plus sixteen is zero? What is the real problem?

Answer 4

this quest is wrong an u right,it can't be solved because there is no unknown.

    If it had not been equal to zero(2/5+16) then this is the right question.

Answer 5

firstly, 2/5 in fraction is the same as 2 divide by 5.  are you sure this is algebra because in algebra there should be at least a variable.
