N^2 = 24 + 2n
n^2 - 2n - 24 = 0
(n-6)(n+4) = 0
n = 6 , n = - 4

9. If f(x) = 5x-4 and f(2a) =156 , then what is the value of a?

$f(x) = 5x - 4$

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

$f(2a) = 5(2a) - 4$

$f(2a) = 10a - 4$

$156 = 10a - 4$

$10a - 4 = 156$

Add sides 4

$10a - 4 + 4 = 156 + 4$

$10a = 160$

Divide sides by 10

$\frac{10a}{10} = \frac{160}{10} \\$

$a = 16$

Can someone please help mee.<br><br> use transformations to solve the equation.<br><br> 3 2/3x = 22

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1. Note that

$3\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}=\dfrac{9+2}{3}=\dfrac{11}{3}.$

2. Then the equation $3\dfrac{2}{3}x=22$ can be rewritten

$\dfrac{11}{3}x=22.$

3. Solve it:

$x=22:\dfrac{11}{3},\\ \\x=22\cdot \dfrac{3}{11}=2\cdot 3=6.$

Answer: x=6

Which pair of equations are perpendicular lines? A. 5x + 2y = 9 and y = –5/2x+27/2 B. x – 3y = 11 and y = –3x + 23 C. 4x + 2y =

Harman [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first make each equation 'y='.

then if you times each x value by each other it has to equal '-1'.

so for B, itll be y=1/3x-11/3 and y=-3x+23.

1/3 x -3 = -1
