Twice the difference of a number and 16 is the same as three times a number less than 18

Mathematics
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "number."

"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:  

2(x-16)

"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:

= 3(x<18)

I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less  18," instead of "less than 18."  If so, we would have:

=3(x-18)

1.  Using the sentence as written:  2(x-16) = 3(x<18)

2.  Using the sentence as amended:  2(x-16) = =3(x-18)

 Going with this interpretation:  

 2(x-16) = 3(x-18)

2x - 32 = 3x - 54

x = 22

Alexus [3.1K]

First you go on the computer and you know how there's always a FBI agent watching you? You tell the FBI agent that your stuck in a hole and you need help. Then the FBI agent will send their team to come and get you but it won't be so easy because why? The little old lady you ran over decided to get revenge and set up a trap. so now it's the FBI vs The little old lady

the FBI starts to shoot at the Old Lady but she moves so fast she like lighting then she goes to attack the FBI agent but then the FBI agent reveals himself as the her grandson! Apparently he was able to get away and survive her attack since this caught the old lady off guard the grandson smashes cookies into her face and help you out of the hole
