Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the number by n.

Then:

8(n + 18) = 16

Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:

8n + 144 = 16

Subtracting 144 from both sides results in 8n = -128.

Dividing both sides by 8:  n = -128/8  =  -16

The number was -16.

How are adding and subtracting decimals different from multiplying decimals
statuscvo [17]
In bmultiplying, you always have to move the decimal of the product the amount of place values the decimal has in each factor, for example, 1.50 times 1.50= 2.25, the factors together have 4 decimals, so you move the decimal 4 times to the right (try it, it gets rid of alot of zeros in the answer.)

seraphim [82]

\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄

At first Divide the figure into two rectangles, I and Il

Area of figure l is ~

  • \sf24 \times (40 - 30)

  • \sf24 \times 10

  • \sf240 \:  \: ft {}^{2}

Area of figure ll is ~

  • \sf 18 \times 30

  • \sf540 \: ft{}^{2}

Area of whole figure = Area ( l + ll )

that is equal to ~

  • \sf240 + 540

  • \sf780 \:  \: ft{}^{2}
