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.

What is the simplified expression for Negative 3 (2 x minus y) + 2 y + 2 (x + y)?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

7y - 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (2x-y)+2y+2(x+y)\\

Step 1:  Open the brackets

= -6x+3y +2y +2(x+y)\\=-6x +3y + 2y +2x + 2y

Step 2: Bring the similar variables together

=-6x +2x \ +3y + 2y + 2y

Step 3: Simplify by adding/subtracting the coefficients of the similar variables

= - 4x +7y

Step 4: Rearrange as required.

Noah says that 9x − 2x + 4x is equivalent to 3x because the subtraction sign tells us to subtract everything that comes after 9x
Genrish500 [490]

From (1) and (2), then

Triangle WXV = Triangle ZYV (SAS)

=> Option SAS is correct.
