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

Unit rate feet per second 180 miles over 2 hours

Tatiana [17]

So that is equal to 180 miles per 2 hours which is 90 miles per hour if each hour has the same m/hr rate.
You can set up a proportion:
let x = number of miles per hour
$\frac{x}{180} = \frac{1}{2}$
cross multiply and you get
2x=180
divide both sides by 2 and you get
x=90
so you get the same answer both ways,
90 miles per hour

For D I believe it would be 6

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe 6 because is you do 108÷18 you get 6 and then it would be 6/108 = 7/18 which is true.
