N = 7

(n * -4) + 4 = -24
-4 -4

Subtract 4 from both sides.
Now you should have
(n * -4) = -28
Now multiply n by -4 (you could've also done this before subtracting 4)

This should cause your equation to be
-4n = -28
Divide both sides by -4 in order to get n by itself (or make it equal 1)

n = 7

Arada [10]

Answer: 52

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

x is the hypotenuse (c). You can find the hypotenuse by finding the opposite of the right angle

48^2+20^2=2304+400=2704

√2704=52

x=52

The cost of 7 chairs and 2 tables is equal.If the cost of 6 chairs and 5 tables is 10575, find the cost of 12 chairs.

Igoryamba

Answer:

5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a chair and y represent the cost of a table. We can use this to set up a system of equations:

7x=2y

6x+5y=10575

We can solve this system using substitution.

Start by rewriting the first equation in terms of x.

$7x=2y\\\text{Divide both sides by 7}\\x=\frac{2}{7}y$

Substitute this into the second equation:

$6(\frac{2}{7}y)+5y=10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+5y+10575\\\frac{12}{7}y+\frac{35}{7}y=10575\\\frac{47}{7}y=10575$

Multiply both sides by 7

$47y=74025$

Divide both sides by 47

$y=1575$

This means...

$7x=2(1575)\\7x=3150$

Divide both sides by 7

$x=450$

One chair costs 450. Now, multiply this number by 12 to find the cost of 12 chairs.

$450*12=5400$

12 chairs cost 5400.
