Simplify both sides of the equation
x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2
Distribute
1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2
(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2
Combine Like Terms
−1/16x + −1/4 = 2
Add 1/4 to both sides.
−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4
−1/16x = 9/4
Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).
(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)
x=−36
Answer:
5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
( 9 + 6 + 3 + 9 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 8 ) / 10
= 56 / 10
