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
You surveyed 30 students to see how many CDs they owned.
The number of students who owned 5 - 8 CDs was:
= 15
The number of students who owned 9 - 12 CDs was:
= 10
The number of students who owned 13 - 16 CDs was:
= 5
The number of students who owned 17 - 20 CDs was:
= 0
The total number of students surveyed is the sum of the above:
= 15 + 10 + 5 + 0
= 30 students
30 students were surveyed for this study.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Okay so, im not the best at explaining, but so we have a percentage. its 25%. you want to take the 25% and put it over 100 because a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. so it will be written as 25%/100</em>
<em />
<em>divide 25 by 100 and you get 0.25, correct? so that's one step further towards the answer.</em>
<em>then we write x/90 because we don't know (well we do) what we're gonna put. but, we're gonna multiply 0.25 by 90 and we get 22.5, which is equivalent to </em><em>22.50</em><em>.</em>
