Our missing number we are solving for is X.
We are told x will equal 2x (number doubled) plus -16.
x = 2x + -16 We want to move the smaller variable to the right to sit with the larger one and move the -16 to the left by subtracting it from both sides. Remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding it. So essentially we add 16 to both sides.
16 = 2x - x Combine the variables
16 = x or x = 16
I chose to put the variable on the left in this problem to avoid having a -x on the left side. It doesn't matter which side the variable is on to solve, but when you state it - we usually say x = 16.
Answer:
y=-1/3x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
First off, lets outline that parallel lines have the <u>Same Slope</u>. So we can plug in -1/3 as our slope, or m.
Lets plug in -1/3 as our slope in Point Slope form to find the y intercept. Point slope form should be attached in an image below.
1) Plug slope and points into point slope form:
y+1=-1/3(x+3)
2) Distribute -1/3 to x and 3:
y+1=-1/3x-1
3) Subtract 1 from both sides:
y=-1/3x-2
Now we have our answer is slope intercept form!

Answer:
47 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Elapsed time is the time spent on something. In this case 47 minutes were spent reading the book.
Try 3 because 3 times 3 is. 9
