Solution Steps

Step 1: Isolate the fraction

The equation is given as: \[ \frac{a + 16}{4} = -2 \] To eliminate the denominator, multiply both sides of the equation by 4: \[ 4 \cdot \frac{a + 16}{4} = -2 \cdot 4 \]

Step 2: Simplify the equation

After multiplying, the equation simplifies to: \[ a + 16 = -8 \]

Step 3: Solve for \(a\)

Subtract 16 from both sides to isolate \(a\): \[ a + 16 - 16 = -8 - 16 \] \[ a = -24 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{a = -24}\)

Let W be the subset of R^3 consisting of all vectors [ x1 x2 x3 ] such that x1+x2+x3>2 Determine if W is a subspace of R^3 and check the correct answer(s) below. A. W is a subspace because it can be written as N(A) for some matrix A. B. W is a subspace because it can be expressed as W=spanv1, ..., vn. C. W is not a subspace because it is not closed under scalar multiplication. D. W is not a subspace because it does not contain the zero vector.
