Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the "number."
"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:
2(x-16)
"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:
= 3(x<18)
I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:
=3(x-18)
1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)
2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)
Going with this interpretation:
2(x-16) = 3(x-18)
2x - 32 = 3x - 54
x = 22
Answer:
Subtract 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)
To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.
So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5
