Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
suppose the number is x
so
(x-8) * 2 =24
x-8=12
x=12+8
x=20
The equation of the line is A
Part A
The expression "ma" is the same as "m*a" (m times a). To isolate 'a', we divide both sides by m. Division is the inverse operation of multiplication. Think of it as undoing multiplication
F = ma
F = m*a
F/m = m*a/m
F/m = a
a = F/m
Answer: a = F/m
Note: the slash "/" without quotes means "divide"
===========================================
Part B
Use the result from part A. We will plug F = -24 and m = 10 into that equation
a = F/m
a = -24/10
a = -2.4
Answer: -2.4
===========================================
Part C
We will use the equation F = m*a
F = m*a
24 = m*12 ... plug in F = 24 and a = 12
24/12 = m*12/12
2 = m
m = 2
Answer: 2
