Answer: q=16
Step-by-step explanation:
if we suppose q=16
(q+4)/2=10
Answer:
<u>10°C average temperature</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Average Temperature = Lowest + 17
= -7 + 17
= 17 - 7
= <u>10°C average temperature</u>
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
You know you are finished dividing when you can no longer simply & when you plug it back in to check the answer
