Which equation can be used to represent the statement?
Sixteen is the same as one and two-tenths times a number added to negative 8.
16 + 1.2 n = negative 8
16 + 1.2 n = 8
16 = 1.2 n + (negative 8)
16 = negative 1.2 n + 8
I would say 16=1.2n+(negative 8) because they are in the same order as it was spelled in words and not numbers that's how I know that it could be 16=1.2n+(negative 8).
