Are you serious. You could have answered these in the time it took you to write this. Stop being lazy and do your homework!!

Answer 4

Computer Al is wrong.....

16.

X - 1/2 = -1/2

When you are solving for X you need to do the opposite function to the other side of the equation.  So in this case you need to add 1/2 to the negative 1/2.  X=  -1/2 + 1/2

Do the math on the right side now and you have the value of X.

17.

X-8=14

Again when you are solving for X you need to put the number that is with X on the left side and do the opposite function.

X= 14+8

Do the math on the right hand side now and you have solved for X.

18.

X-14=18

Take the fourteen and move it to the right hand side and change the  function from subtraction to addition.

X= 18+14

Do the math and you have solved for X

Good luck!
