A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

He solution is n = –2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2. What is the last line of the justification?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

-0.8=-0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that n=-2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n+2=2n+3.2.

As n=-2 is the solution for our given equation, so it will satisfy our equation.

Let us substitute n=-2 is our given equation.

1.4*-2+2=2*-2+3.2

-2.8+2=-4+3.2

-0.8=-0.8

Since the value of n satisfies our equation, therefore, last line of the justification will be -0.8=-0.8.
