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

Lynna [10]3 years ago

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

Sophie borrowed $2000 and took 3 years to repay the loan and $900 interest.
dedylja [7]
I = p * r * n

i is the interest
p is the principal
r is the interest rate per time period
n is the number of time periods.

in your problem:

i = 900
p = 2000
r = what you want to find
n = 3 years

formula becomes 900 = 2000 * r * 3

solve for r to get r = 900 / 2000 / 3 = .15

that's .15 interest rate per year = 15% per year.

at a nominal interest rate of .15 per year, the interest rate per month would be .15/12 = .0125 per month.

the remaining balance at the end of 6 month is equal to 1907.140183
