To solve the equation \( 16 = -2c + 10c \), we can first simplify the right side of the equation.
Combine the \( -2c \) and \( 10c \):
\[ -2c + 10c = 8c \]
Now the equation becomes:
\[ 16 = 8c \]
Next, to solve for \( c \), divide both sides by 8:
\[ c = \frac{16}{8} \]
\[ c = 2 \]
Therefore, the value of \( c \) that is a solution to the equation is \( \boxed{2} \).
