Question

Find the solution of each equation using mental math or a table.  If the solution lies between two consecutive integers, identify these integers 2.2-2n=12.2

Answer 1

Subtract 2.2 from both sides leaving -2n on the left and 10 on the right. from there you want to get "n" by itself so you divide both sides by -2n and you get n=-5

2.2-2n=12.2
-2.2 -2.2

-2n = 10
/-2 /-2

n=-5
