Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{1}{2}(2n-4)+6=-9+4(2n+1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(2n)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(-4)+6=-9+(4)(2n)+(4)(1)\\\\-n-2+6=-9+8n+4\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-n+(-2+6)=8n+(-9+4)\\\\-n+4=8n-5\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\-n=8n-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8n\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-9n=-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-9)}\\\\n=1$

A house blueprint has a scale of 1 in. : 4 ft. The length and width of each room in the actual house are shown in the table. Com

We know that
scale------------> 1 in/4 ft
[blueprint]=scale*[actual]

Part 1) <span> Living room
lenght (20 ft) -------------> </span>[blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in<span>
width (8 ft) ----------------> </span>[blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in

Part 2) Kitchen
length (16 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 3) Office
length (8 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 4) Bedroom 1
length (8 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 5) Bedroom 2
length (20 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in
width (20 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in

Part 6) <span>Bathroom</span>
length (6 ft) -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*6=1.5 in
width (8 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
