Answer:
1) take the first part of the equation and work it by multiplying (x+2) by 3
3(x+2)+x
3x +6+x
2)put the answer you got into the question you were given
3x + 6+x =2x +16
3)group the x variables and the non x variables
3x +x -2x =16 -6
4) Now work the equation you have
3x+x-2x=16-6
4x-2x=16-6
2x=16-6
2x=10
5) you divide both sides by the x variable
2x=10
2x/2 =10/2
x=5
therefore x is 5
Y=4/3 because if 3 goes to rhs is becomes divided by the number on the rhs so answer is 4/3
Converse means switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement. The converse of x > y, is y > x. Therefore, the answer to your question is y > x, switching the hypothesis and conclusion of the statement.
