You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
Answer:
× 
Step-by-step explanation:
500
= 2 x 250
= 2 x 10 x 25
= 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5
= ×
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
that;'s what i put the first time
To get a you have to have a on its own side
56a=7/4
divide 56 on both sides
a=56/1 divided by 4/7 (switch 7/4 to 4/7 because you are going from division to multiplication)
a=32
Hope this helped
