Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = 16
2x = 15 (subtract 1 on both sides)
x = 7.5 (divide 2 om both sides)
Since 7.5 is not an integer, (a) is No.
However 7.5 is rational, therefore (b) is Yes.
Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
we have

substitute in the linear equation

solve for b

substitute

Part 2) Draw the equation
we know that
To graph a line we need two points
we have the y-intercept (0,4) and (2,-4)
Plot the points, connect them and join to draw the line
see the attached figure
The percent of boys in the class is 40% because 16 + 24 = 40 (the entire amount of kids) 16 / 40 = .4 then move decimal twice to the right for percentage which gives you 40%
The answer is 40%
I hope this helped :)
