Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a(n-2)+5=bn

Add -bn to both sides

an-2a+5+(-bn)=bn+(-bn)

an-bn-2a+5=0

add two a to both sides

an−bn−2a+5+(2a)=0+(2a)

an−bn+5=2a

Add -5 to both sides

an−bn+5+(-5)=2a+(-5)

an−bn=2a−5

Factor out our variable

n(a−b)=2a−5

Divide both sides by a-b

n(a-b)/a-b=2a-5/a-b

n=2a-5/a-b

Hope this helps

$600 7) Nika puts 42 beads in each necklace. Which is the best way to use rounding numbers to estimate the number of beads Nika

kkurt [141]

Answer:

20 X 40 = 800 (split into 2 fourths) = 40

Step-by-step explanation

20 x 40 = 800;

For 2 necklaces she can split 800 into fourths.

800 - 40 = 80. (1 fourth)

80 - 40 = 40 (2 fourths)

40 - 40 = 0 (3 fourths)

She could split 800 into 2 fourths to get a number more than 0 and less then 42.

The best estimate of rounding 42 is 40. Because 40 is closer to 42.
