Answer:Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

(2x+8)=−16

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

(2x+8)=−16

(

)(2x)+(

)(8)=−16(Distribute)

x+2=−16

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

x+2−2=−16−2

x=−18

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.

2*(

x)=(2)*(−18)

x=−36

Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(2x+8)=-16

2x+8=-16/(1/4)

2x+8=(-16/1)(4/1)

2x+8=-64/1

2x+8=-64

2x=-64-8

2x=-72

x=-72/2

x=-36

Alla [95]

Answer:

2 cups of peanut butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Carter's famous peanut butter cookies call for 1 cup of peanut butter for every 1/2 of a cup of oil. Today, she wants to make a huge batch with 1 cup of oil. How much peanut butter should she use?

From the above question:

1/2 cup of oil = 1 cup of peanut butter

1 cup of oil = x

Cross Multiply

1/2x = 1 × 1

x = 1 ÷ 1/2

x = 1 × 2/1

x = 2 cups of peanut butter.

Therefore, for huge batch with 1 cup of oil, she should use 2 cups of peanut butter.
