2. Answer:

   8=8

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Translate problem into an equation

   1/3 X = X-16

   Subtract X from each side

   1/3X – X= -16

   -2/3X = -16

   Multiply each side by -1

   Equals 2/3X = 16

   Divided each side by 2/3

   X = 16 divided by 2/3 or multiplied by 3/2

   X = 16 times 3 divided by 2 = 48/2 = 24

   Proof: Replace X work 24 too see if formula works:

   1/3 (24) = 24–16

   8 = 8 Done!
