Answer:
a=2x-b
Step-by-step explanation:

-16 = 8x/5......8x/5 is the same as 8/5(x)
-16 = (8/5)x...divide both sides by 8/5
-16 / (8/5) = x
-16 * 5/8 = x
-80/8 = x
-10 = x <===
Set up a system of equations.
X+y=6
Y-x =40
Substitution method.
Y=6-x
(6-x)-x =40
6-2x=40
-2x=34
X= -17
Plug it back into the equation.
-17+y=6
Y=33
(-17,33) is one of the possible answers.
32 = 1 x 32, 2 x 16, or 4 x 8. Factors of 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Hope I heled! :)
