We’ll use x to represent the mystery number.

“Sixteen less than” means subtraction, so we have 16 -

“Less than a number” simply means 16 - x

“Equals - 19” sets 16 - x equal to -19. In other words, 16 - x = -19

To solve, we subtract 16 to get x alone:

-x = -35

Divide the entire equation by -1 to make x positive:

-1(-x = -35) leaves us with x = 35

The number is -3 because -3 minus 16 equals -19.

⚠️ Urgent PLS HELP !!!<br> find the value of x.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

x = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a supplementary angle, meaning the sum of the angles is 180°.

We can find the value of x by combining like terms.

5x - 6 + 7x + 12 = 180.

5x and 7x are alike.

5x + 7x = 12x.

-6 + 12 = 6.

The final equation is 12x + 6 = 180.

We can solve this by subtracting 6 from 180.

180 - 6 = 174.

12x = 174

Lastly, we divide 174 by 12.

174 / 12 = 14.5

Therefore, x is equal to 14.5
