16x - 8 can be 8(2x - 1)
The distributive property
hope this helps
If

, then


. So, in the first gap you can write 5 and in the second you can write -4.
Since

, the minimum value of y is when

. The solution of the last equation is x=-5 and then y=-4 -- these are numbers, which you can write in the third and fourth gaps.
The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .
From 0g to 494.7g are rejected as well as those heavier than 505.3grams.
You calculate this by subtracting and adding 5.3 to 500
A = 0.9 o
<span>so, </span>
<span>o = a/0.9 = 1.111a </span>
<span>so, the orange is 11% heavier than the apple.
glad i could help(:</span>
