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:
L = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2L + 2W
you know that P = 50, W=10
So you have to replace those values on the equation
50 = 2L + 2*(10) --> Replace P and W
50 = 2L + 20 --> Multiply and now you are going to separate the unknown and the constants.
Remember that if you send a constant to the other side of the equal the sign will change to its opposite
50 - 20 = 2L --> Solve the constants
30 = 2L --> Now for the L, you have to leave it alone, so the 2 that is multiplying you have to send it to the other side of the equal but with the opposite operation, the opposite operation of multiplying is dividing, so you have:
30/2 = L
L= 15
