Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve. A number x divided by −9 is −16.

Equation:

Solution: x=

Solution: X=144

Equation: x/(-9)= -16

Step-by-step explanation:

the / is divide

the first part of the word problem states that a number x is being divided by -9, x/-9 then it states that this equation equals -16 therefore,x/-9=-16.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
