What is -3 - 9n= 42 I can’t be negative

Mathematics

If you were to correctly simplify this equation, the answer would be a negative.

The answer is: n = -5

Here's how I got my answer:

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides. Which leaves us with -9n=42+3

Step 2: Simplify 42+3 to 45. Which leaves us with -9n = 45

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9. Which leaves us with n = -45/9

Step 4: Simplify -45/9, to get your answer, n = -5.

Hey.
The answer is (7,4).
The change of x is -6. Divide that by two(=-3) and add it to the first x-coord and you get 7.
Do the same for your y-value(change =+6/2= +3) and you'll get 4.

Mr Thompson please help with my new HW
sesenic [268]

Answers:

  1. C) x = plus/minus 11
  2. B) No real solutions
  3. C) Two solutions
  4. A) One solution
  5. The value <u>  18  </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u>  17  </u> goes in the second blank.

========================================================

Explanations:

  1. Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
  2. There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
  3. The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
  4. We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
  5. Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
