24

Step-by-step explanation:

X - 16 = 8

Carry over the 16 by the 8 - > X = 16 + 8

X = 16 + 8

X = 24

To find out if the answer was correct - > X(24) - 16 = 8

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

b, i believe, but not sure.
