Jake’s family traveled a total of 1,543 miles
(n+20)*2 = 99.2
distribute
2n + 40 = 99.2
subtract 40 from each side
2n = 59.2
divide each side by 2
n = 29.6
Hey there!
Okay, so when you get a problem like this, all you need to do in insert the given value into the function and solve.
For example:
As you can see, they state that <em>(a) = 27, </em>so you insert 27 in for a in the function and it will look like this:
h(27) = 3(27) + 5
Now you solve on the right side of the equal sign:
3(27) = 81 (you multiply them)
81 + 5 = 86
When you plug the value of 27 in for a in this function, your output is equal to 86.
7/10 would be equivalent to 0.7
Hope this helped! :)
