Let’s say Peter’s number is P.

P minus 16 and the answer times -2 is -34

-2(P-16) = -34

-2P+32 = -34

-2P = -66

Divide by -2

P is 33.

Check: 33-16 is 17 and 17*-2 is -34. So

P is 33.

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

=> (x - 16) -2 = - 34

=> -2x + 32 = -34

=> -2x = - 34 - 32 (by transposing)

=> -2x = -66

=> x = -66/-2 = 33

Peter's number is 33.

Hope you understood.

A truck driver drove 120 miles in 1 3/4 hours. What is the speed of the truck in miles per hour? PLEASE HELP
Assoli18 [71]
<span>Turn 1 3/4 into a decimal number: 1.75
So, 120 miles in 1.75 hours, but we want to know miles in *one* hour. Divide both numbers by 1.75. 120/1.75 miles in 1.75/1.75 hour = 120/1.75 miles in 1 hour. 120/1.75 is 68.57 miles in one hour, so 68.57 mph.</span>
