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
Part A: The right triangles are smiliar because If the lengths of the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are proportional to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are similar.
Part B: 2z:2x or 2z/2x. You can write z/x as z:x. Then just multiply both sides by the same number to get an equivalent ratio. Let's multiply by 2. then the answer will be: 2z:2x or 2z/2x
