What is the value of n in the equation 1/2 (n-4) -3 = 3 - (2n+3)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Doss [256]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the brackets.

1/2n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Add or subtract terms.

1/2n - 5 = -2n

Add 5 and 2n on both sides.

1/2n + 2n = 5

5/2n = 5

Multiply both sides by 2/5.

n = 5 × 2/5

n = 10/5

n = 2

Help please<br>solve for x​
adoni [48]

Answer:

X = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle you are looking for is a corresponding angle to the angle given (121°)

2x + 1 = 121

121 - 1 = 2x

121 - 1 = 120

2x = 120

120/2 = 60

X = 60

John ,Rick , and Molli are painting a room together. It takes all of them 16 hours to paint the room to perfection. It takes Joh
CaHeK987 [17]
John's hourly rate is 1/8 of the room per hour.
Rick's hourly rate is 1/2 of the room per hour.
Molli's hourly rate would be 3/8 of the room per hour.

It takes Molli 2 2/3 hours to paint the room alone.

Explanation
Since John paints the entire room (100%=1) in 8 hours, he would paint 1/8 of the room in 1 hour.
Since Rick paints the entire room (100%=1) in 2 hours, he would paint 1/2 of it in 2 hour.

We do not yet know Molli's rate, so we will call it x.

We know that 1/8+1/2+x = 1 hour.

We will use 8 as a common denominator:
1/8+4/8+8x/8 = 1

Adding the numerators, 
(1+4+8x)/8 = 1

Multiply both sides by 8:
1+4+8x = 8

Add like terms:
5+8x = 8

Subtract 5 from both sides:
5+8x-5=8-5
8x=3

Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 3/8
x = 3/8

Molli's rate is 3/8.

Since she can paint 3/8 of the room in 1 hour, we can set up the equation
3/8x = 1

Divide both sides by 3/8:
3/8x ÷ 3/8 = 1 ÷ 3/8
x = 1/1 ÷ 3/8 = 1/1 × 8/3 = 8/3
x = 2 2/3

This is the amount of time it takes Molli to paint the entire room.

Draw the line that is parallel to y = 2x + 5 and passes
sdas [7]

Answer:

point C (-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line you are looking for already has two givens: m = 2 and it has coordinate (2,3) on it. You can plug these in to find the equation of the line and then see which of the 4 points it must pass through.

         3 = 2(2) + b

         -1 = b

         the line you are looking for is y = 2x - 1

First, you can rule out points D and B, because after a quick look, you can see that a line with a slope of 2 wouldn't come close to the point (2,3). Now you can choose between C (-1, -3) and A (-2, -3).

         Now you can plug in the points C and A into the equation of the line that was obtained in the first part of this answer.

         checking point A: -3 = 2(-2) - 1

                                        -3= -5

                                       not true, so now we check point C

         checking point C: -3 = 2(-1) - 1

                                       -3 = -2 - 1

                                       -3 = -3

                                       true, so the point must be C
