    3) Add 16.

    Explanation:

    To manipulate our equation and solve for a variable, we do the inverse operation, or the 'opposite.'

    The opposite of subtraction is addition.

    By rearranging the equation, we can see that it really just says:

    x - 16 = - 83.

    Now it becomes more clear that we add 16 on both sides to solve for x.
