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

Given equation:
<u>Step-1: Subtract 1/4 both sides</u>
Answer:
=x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
If the slope is zero that means that the line does not go up (or have any rise) and therefore must be a horizontal line. Since it passes through the point (3,-8), the equation has to be y=-8.
