Hello,
Please, see the attached file.
Thanks.
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
32. 15.99 x .40 = 6.40
15.99 - 6.40 = 9.59
80/ 9.59 = 8.34
Jenny can buy A. 8 CD’s with her $80
31. 5,000 x .10 = 500
5,000 - 500 = 4,500
4,500 x .15 = 675
4,500 + 675 = 5,175
