2 less than (3 times a number) is the same as (the number plus 10)
2 less than (3*x) = (x + 10)
3x - 2 = x + 10
From here, you solve! :)
3x - 2 - x = x + 10 - x
2x - 2 = 10
2x - 2 + 2 = 10 + 2
2x = 12
2x / 2 = 12 / 2
x = 6
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The -18°C temperature as the freezing point of maple syrup means that the temperature at which maple syrup changes from liquid to solid (that is, freezes) is 18° below the freezing point of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is explained that the freezing point of water is used as the standard or reference point to calibrate the Celsius scale.
The scientists use 0°C to represent the freezing point of water and subsequently use positive numbers to indicate temperatures above the freezing point of water and negative numbers to indicate temperatures lower than the freezing point of water.
So, a temperature/freezing point of -18°C simply means that the temperature/freezing point is 18° lower than the freezing point of water.
Hope this Helps!!!

Choice C) It will use a closed circle
Choice D) The ray will move to the left
=========================================================
Explanation:
The inequality 
means that x = -8 or x < -8. Since we're including -8 itself, which is the endpoint, we'll use a closed circle. In contrast, an open circle would be used if the inequality was 
to exclude the endpoint -8.
The ray is to the left because we're visually describing all values smaller than -8. Such example values are -10 and -22 as these values are to the left of -8 on the number line.
In short, the graph consists of a closed circle at the endpoint -8 and the arrow is to the left. We can say the shading is to the left.
Probably the property of subtraction.
