Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.25x' to each side of the equation.
16 + -1.25x = -0.5 + 1.25x + -1.25x

Combine like terms: 1.25x + -1.25x = 0.00
16 + -1.25x = -0.5 + 0.00
16 + -1.25x = -0.5

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1.25x = -0.5 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1.25x = -0.5 + -16
-1.25x = -0.5 + -16

Combine like terms: -0.5 + -16 = -16.5
-1.25x = -16.5

Divide each side by '-1.25'.
x = 13.2

Simplifying
x = 13.2
