You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.

Answer:
500 and 900
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 300) + 2(x + 100) = 3300 ← distribute parenthesis
3x - 900 + 2x + 200 = 3300
5x - 700 = 3300 ( add 700 to both sides )
5x = 4000 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 800
Then
cost of book = x - 300 = 800 - 300 = 500
cost of pen = x + 100 = 800 + 100 = 900
Answer:
Fourth Quadrant
Step-by-step explanation:
a>0 = a is a positive number = +y
b<0 = b is a negative number = -x
[-b,-a] = [-(-x), -(+y)] = [x, -y]
[positive, negative] is on the fourth quadrant
