Answer:
It means the factor that we multiply by itself three times to get that number.
-16 = 8x/5......8x/5 is the same as 8/5(x)
-16 = (8/5)x...divide both sides by 8/5
-16 / (8/5) = x
-16 * 5/8 = x
-80/8 = x
-10 = x <===
The stock market increased 75 point: = +75 or 75
So, 3 liters of water, add 1/2 liter of lemonade, that's 3 and 1/2 liters of lemonade.
