Malloy solved the equation −5x − 16 = 8; his work is shown below. identify the error and where it was made.

−5x − 16 = 8
step 1: −5x − 16 + 16 = 8 + 16
step 2: −5x = 24
step 3: negative five times x over five = twenty-four over five
step 4: x = twenty-four over five

-5x-16=8

-5x=24

above is how to correctly solve the equation

The error is in step 3.

Step 3 as written:

This is incorrect because you are removing the 5 from the -5x so it wouldn't be in the numerator.

Hope this helps

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
