Answer 2

@triciaal

Answer 3

this is what i think -4 x n+16
but what does this mean 16 is -166

Answer 4

times/product = multiply
quotient/divide = divide
sum/increasing/morethan means add
difference = subtract
in the statement `is ` represent equal sign `=`

Answer 5

so then it will be 4-xn+16 = -166

Answer 6

sorry i mean -4xn+16=-166

Answer 7

yes here is an example \[2 \times n \] can be written as 2n

Answer 8

This part is okay. Just avoid using x as a multiplication symbol.

-4 x n+16

Use -4n + 16

Add this part: is -166

Think of "is" as being this =

Answer 9

` -4xn` here multiplication sign looks like `x` variable
so you can write it as -4n

Answer 10

Answer 11

but how do i cheak if its wright using subtraction

Answer 12

wait it's a number +16

Answer 13

-4xn+16=-166

This is okay with one exception. We do not know if you are using x as a variable or multiplication symbol.

-4n means -4 times the number n. You don't need the x to show multiplication.

-4n+16 =-166 is all

Answer 14

how do i cheack if it right using subtraction @Directrix @Nnesha

Answer 15

The instruction you gave is "write an equation." You did that.

Now, are you saying that you also want to solve for n?

Answer 16

yes sorry if i wasnt clear in the beginning my apologies

Answer 17

What do you get when you subtract 16 from both sides?
