X-the number
16 + 2x = -24 |subtract 16 from both sides
2x = -40 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = -20</u>
Answer: <em>The number is -24</em>
Lol
trouble varies directly as distance
lets say t=trouble and d=distance
t=kd
k is constant
given
when t=20, and d=400
find k
20=400k
divide by 400 both sides
1/20=k
t=(1/20)d
given, d=60
find t
t=(1/20)60
t=60/20
t=3
3 troubles
