Seven less than sixteen times a number is equal to the same number reduced by 5. What is the number?

x = 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

first, create a formula or expression

16x - 7 = x - 5

move x, subtract it

15x - 7 = -5

add 7

15x = 2

divide by 15

x = 2/15

sub in to check:

-4.85667 = -4.86667

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
