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>
First, before multiplying to cancel the fraction, let's isolate x by subtracting both sides by 3:
b/9 < 1
To cancel out the fraction, we multiply both sides by 9:
x < 9
(29-22)*26+(26-21)*22
Cut the figure into 2 then find the unknown lengths to find each part. Add them together, and you'll get the answer.
