Question

n+16=9

Answer 1

-16 from both sides to get n by itself. in these types of problems you always want to get the variable by itself.

Answer 2

what about -104=8x?

Answer 3

again, to get x by itself just do the opposite of the function that is currently being done to eliminate 8 from one side. in this case, 8 is being multipled, so you divide by it on both sides to get x alone.

Answer 4

so it would be -832? did i do that right?

Answer 5

no, divide -104/8 to get x

Answer 6

oh okay

Answer 7

-13 right?

Answer 8

okay lets see if i got this one down. 14b=-56 okay so i got b=-0.25

Answer 9

how did you get that?
