Edited answer: The number is:  "- 6" .
_______________________________________________

 8 (8 + x) = 16 ;  

in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;

8*8 + 8*x = 16 .

Edit:  64 + 8x = 16 ;

Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:

Edit:   64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;

to get:  8x = </span>- 48 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;

Edit:     8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ; 

  Edit:    x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is:  "- 6" .
______________________________________________
 Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ; 

→ 8 [8 + (-6) ]  =? 16 ?? ; 

→ 8 (8 − 6 )  =? 16 ?? ; 

→ 8 (2)  =? 16 ?? ; 

→ 16 = ? 16 ??  Yes!

Sandra saves 7% of her salary for retirement. This year her salary was $2,000 more than her salary than in the previous year, an
Effectus [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 2,000
  • $45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Where x represents the previous year's salary, its amount this year is said to be ...

  x + 2000

The equation is trying to reflect the fact that 7% of that is $3,290. The missing number is 2000:

  0.07(x +2000) = 3290

__

Solving for x, we find ...

  x = (3290/0.07) -2000 = 45000

Sandra's salary the previous year was $45,000.

Say you wanted to give someone 35000 berries, but every time you give someone berries, it takes away 30%. How could you calculat
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

What I understand is that I need to give someone an exact number so that when 30% is taken, they keep exactly 35,000

To make the statement above true, we would need to divide 35,000 by 7 since the answer would be 10% of the number we need. Once we do this we get 5000 which is 10% now we multiply 5000 by 10 to get 100% and we get 50.000 once we give this amount to the person and 30% is taken away they are left with 35,000
