Answer:

D.) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

-n/2 = -8

Multiply both sides of -n/2 = -8 by -2:

(-2 (-n))/2 = -2 (-8)

-2×(-1)/2 = (-2 (-1))/2:

(-2 (-1))/2 n = -2 (-8)

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 n = -2 (-8)

(-1)^2 = 1:

n = -2 (-8)

-2 (-8) = 16:

Answer: n = 16

A scientist finds the distances d that two snakes travel in a time of t seconds. the equation 16t = d represents the relationshi

wlad13 [49]

From the equation given, the time for the black mamba snake to cover distance d, will be d/16 while that for the the rought-scaled snake would be d/1.5.
Assume that the distance covered by both snakes is 200 meters;
Then,
Time taken by the black mamba is 200/16 = 12.5 seconds, and
Time taken by the rought-scaled snake is 200/1.5 = 133.33 seconds
Clearly the black mamba is faster at 12.5 seconds compared with the rought-scaled snake.
