-5(n - 4) = 20

Distribute the -5 through the parenthesis
-5n + 20 = 20

subtract 20 from both sides
-5n = 0

Divide both sides by -5
n = 0

CHECK
-5( 0 - 4) =
-5(-4) = 20

ahrayia [7]

I am not too sure what the question is, but If she has a job that pays her $7.50/h she would have $2.50 extra to spend. That would be $20 of spending money she would make after a eight hour work day. Leaving her with a extra $40 she would deposit into her savings account after each day.

A physician orders 140mg of a medication to give orally. You have 125mg/5mL on hand. What is the correct dose of medication to g
adelina 88 [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: The correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve this problem we need to establish a relationship between the prescripted medication and the available solution.

Let's write the needed equations to establish the relantionship:

\frac{125mg}{5mL}=1\\\\125mg=5mL

The available solution means 125 mg each 5 mL of solution, so:

\frac{125mg}{5mL}=\frac{140mg}{x}\\\\x*\frac{125mg}{5mL}=140mg\\\\x=140mg*\frac{5ml}{125mg}=\frac{700mg*mL}{125mg}=5.6mL

Hence, the correct dose of medication to give is 5.6 mL of the 125 mg/5mL solution.

Have a nice day!

A knitter wants to make a rug for a dollhouse. The length of the rug will be 2 inches more than it’s width. The total area of th
steposvetlana [31]

The width of the rug is 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A knitter wants to make a rug for a dollhouse

  • The length of the rug will be 2 inches more than it’s width
  • The total area of the rug ( in square inches) based on the width w of the rug (in inches ) is given by A(w) = w (2 + w)
  • The desired area of the rug is 15 square inches

We need to find the width of the rug

∵ The area of the rug is A(w) = w(2 + w)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ A(w) = 2w + w²

∵ The desired area of the rug is 15 square inches

- Equate A(w) by 15

∴ 2w + w² = 15

- Subtract 15 from both sides

∴ 2w + w² - 15 = 0

- Its a quadratic equation arrange its terms from the greatest power of x

∴ w² + 2w - 15 = 0

Factorize it into two binomial factors

∵ w² = w × w

∵ 15 = 3 × 5

∵ 5w - 3w = 2w

∴ w² + 2w - 15 = (w -3)(w + 5)

∴ (w - 3)(w + 5) = 0

- Equate each factor by 0

∴ w - 3 = 0 OR w + 5 = 0

∵ w - 3 = 0

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ w = 3

∵ w + 5 = 0

- Subtract 5 from both sides

∴ w = -5 ⇒ rejected because no dimension with -ve value

∴ w = 3 only

The width of the rug is 3 inches
