When it's powered numbers, remember to choose the one with the largest power. For example,

And

Choose 10, same goes to y, where you choose 7 not 4 since 7 is larger.

Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
Answer:
Add the two angles: 43° + 47° = 90°.
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle has an angle that equals 90°. Complementary angles equal 90°. Therefore, if you add these two angles, you will know whether or not △ABC is a right triangle. Triangle △ABC is broken up into two angles, m∠ABD and m∠DBC. When the measures m∠ABD and m∠DBC are added together, they equal 90°, and thus, form a complementary angle.
