You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
That is 3 to the 4th power
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by decoding this :)
First lets do 60% more than 10; 16 (mental math)
Next, lets do 20% less than 16; x/16 = 80/100 (Equation)
After solving by cross multiplying & then simplifying (make sure both denominators are 100), you should get 12.8 as your final #! Hope this helped.
