Edited answer: The number is: "- 6" .
_______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;
8*8 + 8*x = 16 .
Edit: 64 + 8x = 16 ;
Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:
Edit: 64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;
to get: 8x = </span>- 48 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;
Edit: 8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ;
Edit: x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is: "- 6" .
______________________________________________
Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ;
→ 8 [8 + (-6) ] =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (8 − 6 ) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 8 (2) =? 16 ?? ;
→ 16 = ? 16 ?? Yes!

50-38=12
38+12=50
The answer is 12
Hey there! :D
So, we can just divide all the numbers to figure it out.
31/9= 3.44444444
32/9=3.5555556
33/9= 3.66666777
34/9= 3.777778
The closest number to 3.4 is 31/9. "A" is the correct answer.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
Block 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The Shannon Diversity Index rewards larger numbers of species and more even distribution of species. On the face of it, Block 5, with its uniform distribution among 4 species, should have the highest index. When we do the calculation, we find this is the case. (see attachments)
