Equation
-4x + 16 = -116
solve for x
-4x + 16 = -116
subtract 16 to both sides
-4x + 16 - 16 = -116 - 16
simplify
-4x = -132
divide -4 to both sides
-4x/-4 = -132/-4
simplify
x = 33
answer: the number is 33
Area of triangle = 0.5 base height
24 = 0.5 x 6 height
height = 8 inches
12,500 / 100 = 125 125 x 4.5 = 562.5 562.5 x 4 = 2250
2250 + 12,500 = 14,750 He paid back a total of $14,750. Hope this helps :)
