Answer: Rational
A rational number is, as the name implies, any number that can be expressed as a ratio, or fraction. ... 4.5 is a rational number, as it can be represented as 9/2.
I hope this is good enough:

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Breaking down the equation
Simplification
I believe you should try to plug in the ordered pair to see if the solutions work.
The ordered pair is (x,y) because x is on the x-axis and y is on the y-axis, therefore in (16,-3) the x=16 and y=-3.
Now substitute, meaning plug in those numbers into the equation.
For x+2y=10 would be 16+2(-3)=10
Now you just need to solve one side and see if it equals the other side.
16+2(-3)
First you use order of operations to solve this. PEMDAS. So you multiply 2(-3) first because of the parenthesis and it being multiplication.
16+(-6) and when you have a positive number adding a negative number it’s going backwards of the number line, basically meaning subtraction in a way. Sorry if this confuses you, if you already know how to do negatives and such nevermind this part.
But 16+(-6)=10
So now you look at both side of the equation, does the left side equal to the right? 10=10, so yes. It is a solution for that equation.
Now for the next equation, 7y=-21
Again, plug in the ordered pair (16,-3) into the equation. Remember that it’s (x,y).
There is no x in this equation so no need to worry about that; you only plug in y for this one.
7(-3) Now you multiply. Whenever you multiply a positive number and a negative number, the answer will always be negative. So 7(-3) is -21.
Now look if the left side is equivalent to the right. Does -21=-21? Yes. The ordered pair is a solution.
(16,-3) is a solution to both equations.
Hope this helps!
∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>) = -1/2
Take the 3rd power of both sides and solve:
(∛(1/8 - <em>x</em>))³ = (-1/2)³
1/8 - <em>x</em> = -1/8
2/8 = <em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 1/4
