All you have to do is follow PEMDAS (if you don't know what that is, search it up).

-2-5(4n-6)=-132

Distribute the 5 to everything in the parentheses.

-2-20n+30= -132

Combine like terms.

-20n+28 = -132

Subtract 28 from both sides.

-20n = -160

Divide by -20 on both sides.

n = 8

Use order of operations rules to evaluate all terms of -2-5(4n-6)=-132, and then solve for n:

Must multiply -5(4n-6) first: -20n + 30. Then we have -2 - 20n + 30 = -132.

Adding 2 to both sides, we get -20n + 30 = -130, or -20n = -160.

Solving for n, n = 160/20 = 8 = n

B-(-7)= -1

First negative multiply by negative is POSITIVE.

So: B+7= -1

Subtract 7 from both sides

B= -7-1

B= -8.

Answer: -8.

To Check Answer: Plug in the variable of B in the original equation.

So: -8-(-7)= -1

-8+7= -1

-1= -1

If the Solution works out the answer is right.

Sloan [31]

Answer: Yes. On average, it takes about 455 days for 1 person to throw away 1 ton of garbage, so just over 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation: The average person throws away 4.4 pounds of trash daily. So, the way to figure this out is 2,000 divided by 4.4 to find out the number of days it would take to throw away 2,000 pounds of trash.

The pair of values below is from a direct variation. Find the missing number.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer is 2.

2 since 6/4=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since your relation is a direct variation then the points on your line are of the form y=kx where k is the constant of variation (also called constant of proportionality)

If y=kx then y/x=k.

So all the points in this relation since it is a direct variation will be equal to y-coordinate/x-coordinate.

So we are going to solve this proportion:

$\frac{6}{4}=\farc{3}{x}$
