N = the number

0.5n - 9 = 4n + 5
(0.5n - 0.5n) - 9 = (4n - 0.5n) + 5
-9 = 3.5n + 5
(-9 - 5) = 3.5n + (5 - 5)
-14 = 3.5n
-14/3.5 = 3.5n/3.5
-4 = n

The number is -4.

Use the distributive property to rewrite each algebraic expression: Do not solve, just rewrite.
cestrela7 [59]

If ∠1 and ∠2 are complementary and m∠1 = 17º, what is m∠2
Romashka [77]

Answer:

m<2 = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Since <1 and <2 are complementary (which means that they equal 90), all you have to do is subtract 17 from 90 to find your answer:

90 - 17 = 73

thus, m<2 = 73

daser333 [38]
We have a ratio of 3 hours / 7.5 miles
We want to know how many miles he can walk in 1 hour so, divide both sides by 3 -> 1 hour / 2.5 miles
He is walking at 2.5 mph
