Our current equation is:
-5(3n + 4) = 40

To solve for this, we need to use the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property allows any number/variable outside of the parenthesis to be multiplied by all numbers/variables inside of the parenthesis.

For example, 3(2 + 3) would be:
3(2) + 3(3)
6 + 9
15.

Now that we've defined our terms and provided an example, I think we're ready to solve.

-5(3n + 4) = 40
-5(3n) + -5(4) (multiplying a positive by a negative makes a negative)
-15n -20 = 40
Add 20 to both sides to get -15n by itself.
-20 + 20 = 0
40 + 20 = 60

We now have:
-15n = 60

Divide both sides by -15 to solve for n.
-15n / -15 = n
60 / -15 = -4

N = -4.

Your answer is A.) -4.

I hope this helps!

-5(3n + 4) = 40

Simplify.

-15n - 20 = 40

Add 20 to both sides.

-15n = 40 + 20

Simplify.

-15n = 60

Divide both sides by -15.

n = 60 / -15

Simplify.

n = -4

Check our work by simply plugging -4 in for n in the given equation.

-5(3n + 4) = 40

-5(3(-4) + 4) = 40

Simplify.

-5(-12 + 4) = 40

Simplify.

-5(-8) = 40

40 = 40

So, n = -4

~Hope I helped!~

Determine which of the indicated column vectors are eigenvectors of the given matrix
gladu [14]
]Eigenvectors are found by the equation (A-\lambda I) \vec{v} = 0$ implying that \det(A-\lambda I) = 0. We then can write:

A-\lambda I = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4-\lambda & 2 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}\right ] 

And:

\det(A-\lambda I) = (4-\lambda)(1-\lambda) - 10 = 0 

Gives us the characteristic polynomial:

\lambda^2 - 5 \lambda -6 = 0 \implies \lambda_1 = -1, \lambda_2 = 6

So, solving for each eigenvector subspace:

\left [ \begin{array}{cc} 4 & 2 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} \right ] \left [ \begin{array}{c} x \\ y \end{array} \right ] = \left [ \begin{array}{c} -x \\ -y \end{array} \right ]

Gives us the system of equations:

4x + 2y = -x \newline 5x + y = - y 

Producing the subspace along the line y = -\frac{5}{2} x

We can see then that 3 is the answer.

how to rewrite the function in a different form (factored or vertex) where the answer appears as a number in the equation.
rodikova [14]

We can convert the equation of the line in vector form by imposing i cap ,j cap and k cap with direction ratios.

The movement of an object from one place to another is described using vectors. Vectors can be represented as points in a coordinate system in the cartesian system. Similar to this, a "n" tuple can be used to represent vectors with "n" dimensions.

In physics, a vector is a quantity with both magnitude and direction. It is often represented by an arrow whose length is proportional to the magnitude of the quantity and whose direction is the same as that of the quantity. Simply subtract the starting point from the terminal point to determine the vector in component form given the initial and terminal points.

A penny weighs about 0.1 oz. how much is a pound of pennies worth
Lelu [443]
<span>1.       </span><span>A penny weighs about 0.1 oz.
Now, we need to find the weights of pennies in pounds
=> always remember that in every 1 oz, there is 0.0625 pounds.
Since 0.1 is 1/10 of 1 oz, we need to find the value of it in pounds.
=>  0.0625 pounds / 10
=> 0.0625 pounds.
Therefore, in 0.1 oz of  penny is equivalent to 0.00625 pounds.
In problem like this, before determining the answer, you need to make sure that both unit of measurements are the same. If not, then try to convert.</span>

In the adjoining figure, PQRS is a square and TQRS is a trapezium. If the area of the square PQRS is 25sq.cm and TP=12cm, find t
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

area of square=l²

25sq.cm²=l²

l=5sq.cm

area of trapezium =(1/2)(a+b)h

a=5,b=(12+5)=17,h=5

area of trapezium=(1/2)(22)(5)

area=55cm²
