Answer:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 ) ; n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the words to create an equation. The left hand side of the equation will be the difference of a number and 6 and the right hand side of the equation will be 5 times the sum of the number and 2. Hence, we can build the equation:

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

If we wanted, we can solve the equation for the number, n.

n - 6 = 5 * ( n + 2 )

n - 6 = 5 * n + 5 * 2

n - 6 = 5n + 10

-16 = 4n

-4 = n

Thus, we have found the missing number to be negative four.

Cheers.

What is the domain of the function shown in the graph below?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

All except one interval [-2,8]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the function, wich an hyperbola, has a vertical asymptote in both -2 and 8 and there is nothing between this two values.

So we will exclude what's between them out of the domain.

Solve the system of inequalities to decide if the point (-3,2) is part of the solution; y<=-4x-3, +8y>=7

inna [77]

Answer:

$(x,y) = (-3,2)$ is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y \le -4x + 3$

$x + 8y \ge 7$

Required

Determine if $(x,y) = (-3,2)$ is a solution

$y \le -4x + 3$ becomes

$2 \le -4 * -3 + 3$

$2 \le 15$ --- this is true

$x + 8y \ge 7$

$-3+ 8 * 2 \ge 7$

$13 \ge 7$ --- this is also true

Hence,

$(x,y) = (-3,2)$ is a solution

Answer:

multiply the bottom and the top by route 2 minus route 3

this gives 4 route 2 minus route 18 over minus 1

when a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. the equation that models this problem is n 1/5 n = 24. what is the va

GuDViN [60]

Let n be unknown number, then 1/5 of this number is 1/5n. When you add these two numbers, you get

$n+\dfrac{1}{5} n.$

You know that this sum is equal to 24, so

$n+\dfrac{1}{5} n=24.$

1. Multiply this equation by 5:

$5n+n=120.$

2. Solve it:

$6n=120,\\n=120:6,\\n=20.$

Answer: n=20, correct choice is B.
