You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V

<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
The law of cosines :
A^2 = B^2 + C^2 - 2BC cos A
2^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 - 2 . 3. 4 cos theta
= 21

The lateral area is given by the area of 5 rectangles, whose dimensions are 15 by 5:
5(15)(5) = 375
Divide this by 30:
375/30 = 12.5 ≈ 13
