Respuesta :
I tend to flip so x is on the left, so:
-2x - 1 = 16
-2x = 17
x = -17/2, which is -8.5
Rounding up, your answer would be x = -8 !
Answer:
x = - 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 16 = -2x - 1
To find : Solve for x.
Solution : We have given
16 = -2x - 1
On adding both sides by 1
16 + 1 = -2x .
17 = - 2x
On dividing both sides by -2.
x = - 8. 5
If we rounded it it would be - 8 .
Therefore, x = - 8.
