Answer: B = 9


Step-by-step explanation:


16-b=7

Rearrange so we can subtract 16 by 7

16 - 7 = 9


Substituting 9 for b and making sure it's correct.

16 - 9 = 7

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do is to subtract 16 from both side of the equation:

16 - 16 - b = 7 - 16

The 16s on the left cancel out resulting in:

-b = -9

Think of the -b as -1(9). This is multiplication. By doing the inverse operation (division) we can get rid of the negative on the b. We will divide both sides by -1.

\frac{b}{-1} = \frac{-9}{-1}

This leaves a positive b. Since both parts of the right side of the equation are negative it becomes positive ( a negative divided by a negative is a positive).

The final answer is b= 9.

Check our work by plugging in the b value (9) into the original equation:

16 - 9 = 7

7 = 7 is true so we now we have the right answer.

Galina-37 [17]
Lets say that Maggie works 5 hours just the same as Braxton. if we use h(x)=f(x)+g(x) they would make about $100 combined. having to split that Braxton would make less then what he originally. since 9(5)+10= 55 and 6(5)+15=45. but if say Maggie works more then 5 hours then Braxton will be more money then just working alone.

I’m having trouble here can somebody help ASAP.

6x + 4 - x = 2(x+1)


First combine like terms on the left side:

6x-x - 5x

So you have 5x+4 on the left side.


Then use the distributive property on the right side:

2(x+1) becomes 2x +2


Now you have 5x +4 = 2x +2

Subtract 4 from each side:

5x = 2x -2

Subtract 2x from each side:

3x = -2


Divide both sides by 3:

x = -2/3
