Question

solve for x   (WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!) 
-4x(+16)=116

photon336 · Answer

$$-4x+16=116$$ this is what you have right? @carsonce

anonymous · Answer

yep

photon336 · Answer

Subtract 16 from both sides 
-4x+16 = 116-16 
       -16

This is what we get. 
-4x = 100 
-4       -4
now divide both sides by -4 

x = 100/-4 = -25 

x = -25

How would you do this? 
The perimeter of a rectangular photo is 72 cm. The length is twice the width. What are the length and width of the photo?

anonymous · Answer

@Photon336

photon336 · Answer

let's translate this the length is TWICE  the width 

So the length is 2x and the width is x 

Does this make sense?
