Answers:
16. 6-x= 10
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
6-6-x= 10-6
-x= 4
Mutiply both sides by -1
(-1)(-x)= (-1)(4)
x= -4
17. 4a+3= -9
move +3 to the other side
sign changes from +3 to -3
4a+3-3= -9-3
4a= -12
divide both sides by 4
4a/4= -12/4
a= -3
The remainder is always less than the divisor because if the remainder was more than the divisor then you would have a totally different answer. If the remainder was more than the divisor than you know your answers wrong.

No you had it right, it is around the 18 / 3 and the 5 + 1
Answer: 9+4n-1 = 20
We can solve this by substitution.
Replace n with the value given, 3 (remember 4n means 4 times n):
9 + 4*3 - 1
Then work it out using arithmetic
9+12-1
=20
