Solve for x.

16 = -2x - 1

x = -8
x = -7
x = 7
x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

16=-2x-1

17=-2x

x=-17/2

x=-8.5

(this one isn't in the correct order but it's one of the answers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

16 = -2x - 1

-8=x-1

-7=x

x=-7

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

ou would have 12 of each
