Hey there! :)

1/2(n - 1) - 3 = 3 - (2n + 3)

Simplify.

1/2n - 1/2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Add like terms.

1/2n - 3 1/2 = -2n

Add 3 1/2 to both sides.

1/2n = -2n + 3 1/2

Then, add 2n to both sides.

1/2n + 2n = 3 1/2

Simplify!

2 1/2n = 3 1/2

Make everything into improper fractions!

5/2n = 7/2

Multiply everything by 2 to get rid of the denominators.

5/2n × 2 = 7/2 × 2

Simplify!

5n = 7

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 7/5

Hope this helped! :)

A baseball team played 130 games in a season. If it won sixteen more games
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The team has 92 wins and 38 losses.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a season 130 games are played by a baseball team.

Let us assume that the team wins x games and losses y games.

Therefore, we can write, x + y=130....... (1)

It is given that if the team won sixteen more games twice as many games as it lost.

So, we can conclude that x =2y+16 ......(2)

Hence, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, (2y+16) + y =130

⇒ 3y = 114

⇒ y =38

And from equation (2), x = 2×38 + 16 = 92

Therefore, the team has 92 wins and 38 losses. (Answer)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (3, -8) and has slope -2?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of -2 means the slope is -2/1

from (3, - 8) you can find the y intercept by going backwords until x = 0

(2,-6)

(1,-4)

(0,-2)

so the y intercept is -2

y = -2x - 2
