15. -(-7y + 12) = 7y - 12
16. 1/a = 16/18
cross multiply
16a = 18
a = 18/16 = 9/8
17. 8x - 12 = 4x + 24
8x - 4x = 24 + 12
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9
18. -6b > 42 4b > -4
b < 42/-6 b > -4/4
b < - 7 b > -1
so b < -7 and b > -1
19. 6 more then the product of 8 and n
6 + 8n
20. 45 = 3b + 69
45 - 69 = 3b
-24 = 3b
-24/3 = b
-8 = b
Answer:
$73,564,723.80
Step-by-step explanation:
"x is the number of years after the expansion in 2005"
This year is 2021.
2021 - 2005 = 16
x = 16
Answer: $73,564,723.80
he bought 34 pencils which I suppose aren't already sharpened
so if he sharpens 16 of them just subtract 16 from 34 (34-16) which equals 18
so the ratio would be 16:18
but if u need to simplify it would be 8:9
