Answer:

n=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve combine your like terms.

You can start by adding 0.8 to both sides and subtracting 0.7n from both sides.

$-0.8+1.4n=2+0.7n\\1.4n=2.8+0.7n\\0.7n=2.8$

Next, divide both sides by 0.7 to isolate for n.

$0.7n=2.8\\n=4$

Which of the following numbers is a rational but not a integer

Temka [501]

Rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into a fraction. They can be negative or positive.
Integers are whole numbers. They can be negative or positive.

Numbers such as 0.10 are rational because they can be turned into a fraction
0.10 = 1/10....and since it is not a whole number, it is not an integer.

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

katrin2010 [14]

Greetings and Happy Holidays!

<span>1) Perpendicular to </span> $-x+5y=14$
In order for lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals.
Example of slopes with negative reciprocals: 5 and $\frac{-1}{5}$

First, rearrange the equation into slope y-intercept form:
$-x+5y=14$

$5y=x+14$

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{x+14}{5}$

$y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{14}{5}$

The slope of the equation is: \frac{1}{5}

The negative reciprocal formula: $(m_{1})(m_{2})=-1$

Solve for the negative reciprocal:
$\frac{1}{5}m_{2}=-1$

Divide both sides by $\frac{1}{5}$
$\frac{\frac{1}{5}m_{2} }{ \frac{1}{5}} = \frac{-1}{ \frac{1}{5}}$

$m_{2}=(-1)(\frac{5}{1})$

$m_{2}=(\frac{-5}{1})$

$m_{2}=-5$

The slope of the new line is: -5

2) Passes through (-5,-2)

Create an equation with the slope discovered in slope y-intercept form.
$y=-5x+b$

Input the point the line passes through.
$(-2)=-5(-5)+b$

Solve for b (the y-intercept).
$-2=-5(-5)+b$

Multiply.
$-2=25+b$

Add -25 to both sides.
$(-2)+(-25)=b$

$-27=b$

The y-intercept is equal to -27

The Equation of the line is:
$y=-5x-27$

I hope this helped!
