You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
Answer:

Explanation:
Build your conversion factors using the conversion table:
From the prefixes used in the metric system, you know that 1 deciliter = 0.100 liters. Then:
Arrange the expression to simplify the units and convert from cups to deciliters:
Round to the nearest tenth: 0.2 deciliter.
Answer:
x =7, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We substitute the value of x in terms of y (given) into the equation.
Then we solve for y and plug in the value of y back into the equation for the value of x to find x.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In order to add or subtract numbers in scientific notation, the powers of ten must have the same exponent. In this caes the diameter of an average human body cell is a power of -4 and the diameter of a plant cell is a power of -3. In order to add them, we can move the decimal over for the body cell diameter:

Add the two values: 
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4a² b³ * (9a⁴b² - 4a² + 3) = 4a²b³ * 9a⁴b² - 4a²b³*4a² + 4a²b³*3
= 36a²⁺⁴ b³⁺² -16a²⁺²b³ + 12a²b³
= 36a⁶b⁵ - 16a⁴b³ + 12a²b³
