You need to distribute the 4, so you'll end up with: 4n-16=-12 Then, add 16 to both sides. 4n-16+16=-12+16 4n=4 Divide by 4 on both sides. 4/4n=4/4 n=1

There are two ways to do this, the way I would do it is by first dividing each side by 4. if you do this you get n-4=-3. from here you add 4 to each side which gives you n=1

the other way you can do it is by distributing the 4 first. If you do this, you get   4n-16=-12. From here you add 12 to each side, which gives you 4n=4. Finally you divide each side by 4 to give you n=1. 

Both give you the same answer, the first way just does it in one less step.

1)A System of equations is shown below . What is the solution to the system of equations? 5x+2y=-15 2x-2y=-6
meriva

Answer:

x= -3 and y= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y=-15

<u>2x-2y=-6     </u>

<u>7x        =-21</u>

x= -3

Putting value of x in equation 1  

5(-3) +2y=-15

-15+2y= -15

2y= 0

y= 0

This can be solved with the help of matrices

In matrix form the above equations can be written in the form

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2\\2&-2\/\end{array}\right]  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]

Let

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&2\\2&-2\/\end{array}\right] = A  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  = X  and  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]= B

Then AX= B

or X= A⁻¹ B

where  A⁻¹= adj A/ ║A║   where mod A≠ 0

adj A=  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2\\-2&5\/\end{array}\right]

║A║= ( 5*-2- 2*2)= -10-4= -14≠0

X= A⁻¹ B

 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]    =- 1/14  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&-2\\-2&5\/\end{array}\right]   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15\\-6\\\end{array}\right]

 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]    =- 1/14     \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2*-15&+ -2*-6\\-2*-15&+ 5*-6\\\end{array}\right]

 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  =- 1/14 \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 30&+12\\30&+-30\\\end{array}\right]

 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  =- 1/14 \left[\begin{array}{ccc}42\\0\\\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-42/14\\0/-14\\\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\\end{array}\right]  = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3\\0\\\end{array}\right]

From here x= -3 and y= 0

Solution Set = [(-3,0)]
