Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
Cost of a sweatshirt = $32
Then
Cost of 14 sweatshirts = (32 * 14) dollars
= 448 dollars
Cost of a t-shirt = $14
Cost of 32 t-shirts = (32 * 14) dollars
= 448 dollars
So it can seen from the deduction that the cost of 14 sweatshirts and 32 t-shirts comes out to be same and equal to $448. I hope the answer and the procedure of doing this problem is clear to you. It is important to look at all the details given in the question and then start solving the problem.
