Correct Answer: $-(5x-3)$


Solution : Given: $\{[(x-5)(x-1)]-[(9 x-5)(9x-1)]\} \div 16x$
$= [(x^{2}-x-5x+5)-[(81x^{2}-9x-45x+5)]\div 16x$
$= [(x^{2}-6x+5)-[(81x^{2}-54x+5)]\div 16x$
$= [(x^{2}-6x+5-81x^{2}+54x-5)]\div 16x$
$= [-80x^{2}+48x]\div 16x$
$=[-5x+3]$
$=-(5x-3)$
Hence, the correct answer is $-(5x-3)$.
