Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-0.016x=-16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-0.016)}\\\\\dfrac{-0.016x}{-0.016}=\dfrac{-16}{-0.016}\\\\x=\dfrac{16\cdot1000}{0.016\cdot1000}\\\\x=\dfrac{16000}{16}\\\\x=1000[/tex]
Answer:
x = 1000.
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.016x = -16
Divide both sides by -0.016:
x = -16 / -0.016
= 1000.
We can check this by multiplying -0.016 by 1000:
we move the decimal point 3 times to the right - which gives us -16.
