<h3><u>The missing number is equal to -5.</u></h3>

-2(x + 9)  = -8

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

<em><u>Divide both sides by -2.</u></em>

Answer:

La anchura será de:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

El formato original corresponde al 100%

Si se reduce un 60% quiere decir que:

la reducción queda al 40%

entonces, por regla de tres:

15cm es al 100%

A cm es al 40%
