Answer:
-12, -21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the first number. Then the second is x-9. The other relation is ...
4x = 2(x-9) -6
2x = -24 . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
x = -12
x-9 = -21
The first number is -12; the second number is -21.
Answer: hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+11 absolute value equals 2x+11, then 2x+11=7, subtract 11 from itself, and 7 you get 2x=4 divide both sides by 2 an you get -2=x.
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
Answer:
-48
Step-by-step explanation:
12 x 2=24
12 x 6= 72
24 - 72 = -48
