Miguel volunteers at a library. he needs to arrange 576 books on shelves for a book sale. there are 16 empty shelves. miguel puts an equal number of books on each shelf.

The equal number of  books that is arranged on 16 empty shelves is 36 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of books Miguel need to arrange = 576

The total number of empty shelves = 16

Let The total number of books arrange on each shelves = x

So , According to question

The total number of books Miguel need to arrange = The total number of empty shelves × The total number of books arrange on each shelves

I.e 576 =  16 × x

Or, x =

∴   x = 36

Hence The equal number of  books that is arranged on 16 empty shelves is 36 .  Answer

3x - 8 = -2

3x -8+8 = -2 +8

3x = 6

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

s

x - 6

( 2-6)

= -4

that is the value of x -6

= -4
