One half of a number decreased by 16

Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer. 

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

1/2x-16 is an equation that can be used to represent this. The 1/2x represents the one half of a number and the -16 represents the decreased by 16.

If the points at (-4, 3) and (2, 3) are reflected over the x-axis to create two new points, what shape can be formed by the four
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^{2}, a reflection over the x-axis consists in the following operation:

(a,b) \rightarrow (a,-b)

If we know that X = (-4,3) and Y = (2, 3), then the points translated over the x-axis are X' = (-4, -3) and Y' = (2,-3), respectively. The most precise description of the shape is a rectangle for the following facts:

1) XX' = YY' = 8 and XY = X'Y' = 6.

2) X and X' have the same x-component.

3) Y and Y' have the same x-component.

4) X and Y have the same y-component.

5) X' and Y' have the same y-component.

A representation of the shape is included below as attachment.

The graph shows the number of pages to read after x days. Answer the 4 points
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

•y-intercept is the 200 pages she has to read to begin with

•x-intercept on day 16 means she has finished reading all the pages, there are

zero pages left

•there are 100 pages left after 8 days

• the line is straight (no change in slope) so the reading rate was consistent over the 16 days.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 feet. The area of the rectangle is 176 square feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Murrr4er [49]

11 by 16

Explanation:

Set up two equations

2

x

+

2

y

=

54

x

×

y

=

176

Solving the first equation for x

2

x

+

2

y

−

2

y

=

54

−

2

y

this gives

2

x

=

54

−

2

y

Divide both sides by 2

(

2

x

2

)

=

54

−

2

y

2

This gives.

x

=

27

−

y

putting this value into the second equation gives.

(

27

−

y

)

×

y

=

176

multiplying across the parenthesis gives

27

y

−

y

2

=

176

subtracting 176 from both sides gives

is

27

y

−

y

2

−

176

=

0

multiplying by negative one gives

−

27

y

+

y

2

+

176

=

0

factoring this into y gives

(

y

−

11

)

×

(

y

−

16

)

=

0

Solving for both y's gives

y

=

11

,

y

=

16

In the triangles, Line segment B C is-congruent-to line segment D E and Line segment A C is-congruent-to line segment F E. Trian
harina [27]

Answer:

Longer than

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of sides A C and F E are congruent. The lengths of sides B C and D E are congruent. Therefore:

AC = FE, BC = DE

Also m∠C is greater than m∠E

∠C is the angle opposite to line AB and ∠E is the angle opposite to line DF. Since AC = FE, BC = DE and m∠C is greater than m∠E. The length of a side of a shape is proportional to its opposite angle, since the opposite angle of AB is greater than the opposite angle of DF  therefore AB is greater than DF
