If the difference between a number and 21 is divided by2, the result is 4 times the number. What is the number

1 answer:

6 0

(n-21)/2=4n is the equation

First, divide what is in the parentheses by 2
0.5n-10.5=4n

Then, multiply the whole equation by 2 so we have all whole numbers
n-21=8n

Move N so that it is with 8n
7n=-21

Divide 21 by 7
n=-3

Solution: The number (n) is equal to -3

I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLEASEEE!!!!!

Answers:
The area for the square on the left is 81m^2. This is found because all sides of this square are the same, so the length and width are the same. Just multiply 9 x 9.

The area for the triangle is 31.5m^2. We find the left side is 9 meters because the triangle shares the same side as the square on the left side. We also find the bottom side is 7 because that is the length of each side of that square because all sides on a square is the same. We then multiply 9 times 7, getting 63, we divide this by 2 because it’s a triangle.

The square on the right has the area of 225 because both length and width is 15.
