PLEASE HELP. DUE IN 9 MINS ❤️ Three times the sum of a number and 16 is 8 less than four times that same number. Write an
solve an equation to find the number.

3(x+16)= 4x-8

x=56

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+16)= 4x-8

use distributive property

3x+48=4x-8

add 8 to each side

3x+56=4x

subtract 3x from 4x

56=x

check work

3(56+16)=4(56)-8

distributive property again

168+48= 224-8

add the left side

216=224-8

subtract the right side

216=216

tada

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
