Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the "number."
"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:
2(x-16)
"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:
= 3(x<18)
I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:
=3(x-18)
1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)
2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)
Going with this interpretation:
2(x-16) = 3(x-18)
2x - 32 = 3x - 54
x = 22
Answer:
12x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 0, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
10x = 5y + 5
y = 2x - 1
======================
10x = 5(2x - 1) + 5
10x = 10x - 5 + 5
x = 0
======================
y = 2x - 1
y = -1

There are 5 Multiples of 3 on the Spinner and 3 multiples of four.
5/15 is the probability for a multiple of 3 which can be simplified to 1/3
3/15 is the probability for a multiple of 4 which can be simplified to 1/5
Hope this Helps!
