<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

12) -6n – 20 = -2n +4(1 – 3n)<br> What’s the first step
EastWind [94]

Answer:

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 (1-3n)

First distribute the 4 (1-3n)

-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 - 12n

Combine like terms on the right side

-6n - 20 = -14n + 4

Get 'n' on one side by adding -6n to both sides

-20 = -8n + 4

Subtract 4 to both sides

-24 = -8n

Divide -8 to both sides

3 = n
