Answer: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 16 = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
16 + 2x + -3x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
16 + -1x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
16 + -1x = -12 + 0
16 + -1x = -12
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1x = -12 + -16
-1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: -12 + -16 = -28
-1x = -28
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 28
Simplifying
x = 28
Let the balance = Y and the number of weeks = x
She takes out 15 per week, so multiply 15 by x ( the number of weeks) to get 15x.
You would then want to subtract that from the amount she started with in her account.
The equation becomes: Y = 150 - 15x

Answers: 3.161, 3.162, 3.163, 3.164, 3.165, 3.166, 3.167, 3.168, 3.169
(You can just pick one)
Reason: just look at the place numbers. The number has to be between 3.16 and 3.17. So go to the next place value which is the thousandths place. 3.161-3.169 all are between since they have a 6 in the hundredths place, but does not go over 1.17
46 1/4% = 46.25/100 = 23.125/50
