5 cookies - 2 cookies = 3 cookies
Answer:
n = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16
Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.
-1/2n = 3n + 14
Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.
-7/2n = 14
Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.
-7n = 28
Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.
n = -4
Check.
2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16
2 + 2 = -12 + 16
4 = 4
Your answer is correct.
Answer:
135
Step-by-step explanation:
m^2 = 3
Cube m^2
(m^2)^3 = 3^3
m^(2*3) = 27
m^6 = 27
Now multiply by 5
5 * m^6 = 5*27
5 m^6 =135
x² - 4x - 12 = 0
Factor the left side: (x + 2) · (x - 6) = 0
The equation is true if either factor is zero.
If (x + 2) = 0 then x = -2 .
If (x - 6) = 0 then x = 6 .
