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

A sum of two mixed numbers is given. What is the missing number?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole numbers stay the same so it stays as 2. The way they get 30 for the denominator is by multiplying the fraction 1/3 by 10 and 1/5 by 6. So now we have 10/30 and 6/30. Add them together, 10+6=16

PLEASE HELP I've tried everything 30 points!

Answer:

(x+2)1x-8)=0

x=-2 or x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic expression is

$2 {x}^{2} - 12x - 32$

We equate this expression to zero to get:

$2 {x}^{2} - 12x - 32 = 0$

Let us divide through by 2 to get:

${x}^{2} - 6x - 16 = 0$

Split the middle term to get:

${x}^{2} - 8x + 2x - 16 = 0$

Factor

${x}(x - 8) + 2(x - 8) = 0$

Factor further to get

$(x - 8)(x + 2) = 0$

The solution are

$x = - 2 \: and \: x = 8$
