16 increased by twice a number is -24 what is the solution?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
3 0

Let x = the number.

"increased by" tells you we are adding.

"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.

16 + 2x = - 24

Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.

2x = - 24 - 16

2x = - 40

Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.

x = - 40/2 = - 20

Your solution is - 20.

To check your answer, plug in.

16 + 2(-20) = - 24

16 - 40 = - 24

- 24 = - 24

erik [133]

Answer:

3.456E + 14= 3.456X10^{14

Step-by-step explanation:

The river discharges 4X10^6 cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day.

Amount of water discharges each day

=4X10^6X86400\\=345600000000\\=3.456X10^{11

Since this differs from what you have, I will explain the scientific notation.

3.456E + 14 simply means 3.456X10^{14

The options are not well laid out but you can pick the appropriate option.
