-2n-24=-8(2n-4)
Multiply both sides by -1
2n+24=8(2n-4)
Distribute the right side
2n+24=16n-32
Subtract 2n from both sides
24=14n-32
Add 32 to both sides
56=14n
Divide 14 from both sides
n=4

-2n-24=-8 (2n-4)
Simplify
Multiply 2n and -4 by -8
-2n-24=-16n+32
A negative ×negative =positive this is why 32 becomes positive
A negative × a positive= negative this is why 16 becomes negative
Now add both sides by 24
-2n= -16n+56
Now add 16n to both sides
14n= 56
Divide both sides by 14
N= 4
Hope that helps let me know if you need more help understanding:)

"determine the ratio of the volume of a" cone to the volume of a cylinder with the same height and base radius:
hichkok12 [17]
Volume of cone is 10
if the radius is r and height is h
while volume of cylinder is pi r 2nd power h,
volume of cone is 1/3 pi r 2nd power h.
hence with same r and h the volume of cone is one-third of that of cylinder and hence 
volume of cone is 10.

Calculate the gross pay per paycheck for C. D. Edgeling, who makes an annual salary of $30,000 and is paid biweekly.?
son4ous [18]
If you get paid a salary, and you want to know the weekly amount of pay, you need to determine the number of weeks in a year. Sure, you might say "But that's 52 weeks". Wrong. There are 365.25 days in a year (364 but then an extra day every 4th or leap year) There are 7 days in a week. So the number of weeks in a year is: 365.25/7 = 52.1785715285714 weeks This is usually rounded to 2<span>decimal places: 52.18 weeks Therefore, for a salary of 60 000 p.a., </span>

Abc daycare wants to build a fence to enclose a rectangular playground. the area of the playground is 930 square feet. the fence
Dahasolnce [82]
Xy = 940 

<span>and </span>

<span>Cost = 5(2x) + 5y + 10y (I chose y to be the side with brick). The cost equation simplifies to: </span>

<span>C = 10x + 15y </span>

<span>Replace y in the cost equation with 940/x: </span>

<span>C = 10x + 15(940/x) </span>

<span>C = 10x + 14100/x <---this is the equation you need to minimize. </span>

<span>C' = 10 - 14100/x^2 </span>

<span>10 - 14100/x^2 = 0 </span>

<span>14100/x^2 = 10 </span>

<span>x^2 = 14100/10 = 1410 </span>

<span>x = sqrt(1410) = 37.55 </span>

<span>y = 25.03 <---this is the length of the brick fence.</span>
