To solve the equation [tex]\(-16 \times \text{integer} = 304\)[/tex], we need to find the value of the integer.
Here is a step-by-step process to arrive at the solution:
1. Write down the given equation:
[tex]\[
-16 \times \text{integer} = 304
\][/tex]
2. Isolate the integer variable by dividing both sides of the equation by [tex]\(-16\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\text{integer} = \frac{304}{-16}
\][/tex]
3. Perform the division on the right side of the equation:
[tex]\[
\frac{304}{-16} = -19
\][/tex]
4. Conclude the value of the integer:
[tex]\[
\text{integer} = -19
\][/tex]
Therefore, the integer that, when multiplied by [tex]\(-16\)[/tex], results in [tex]\(+304\)[/tex] is [tex]\(-19\)[/tex].
