Answer:

<h2>n = 15</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} ( - 4 - 2n) =  - 17

First of all try to see if there are fractions in the equation .

If so try to find the LCM of the fractions and multiply the equation through by the LCM.

If there is only one fraction multiply through by the denominator of the fraction to eliminate the fraction

If there are brackets try to solve the terms in the bracket first

For the above equation there is only one fraction which is 1/2 so we multiply through by the denominator that's 2

That's

2 \times  \frac{1}{2} ( - 4 - 2n) =  - 17 \times 2

- 4 - 2n =  - 34

Try to make the unknown variable the subject

That's

- 2n =  - 34  + 4

Simplify

- 2n =  - 30

Divide both sides by -2 to make n stand alone

That's

\frac{ - 2n}{ - 2}  =  \frac{ - 30}{ - 2}

We have the final answer as

<h3>n = 15</h3>

Hope this helps you

All angles on a triangle add up to 180. If it's a right triangle it would be set up like this: 90+3x-4=6x-5=180. You would subtract 90 from 180 and get 90 left. 3x-4+6x-5=90. Then you would add 5 and 4 to 90.....3x+6x=99. Then you add 3x and 6x then you would be left with 9x=99. Divide 99 by 9 and you get x=11.

To use distributive property solve equation 2(a+3)=-12
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: a= -18/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 2x3 = -12

2a + 6 = -12

2a + 6 - 6 = -12 - 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides)

2a = -18 (Divide 2 by both sides)

a= -18/2

Which pyramids with base area B and height h have equal volumes?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Option A:

V = 1/3 * b^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 10.5^2 * 6

V = 1/3 * 110.25 * 6

V = 220.5

Option B:

V = 1/3 * b^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 3.6^2 * 8

V = 1/3 * 12.96 * 8

V = 34.56

Option C:

V = 1/3 * b^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 4.2^2 * 12

V = 1/3 * 17.64 * 12

V = 70.56

Option D:

V = 1/3 * b^2 * h

V = 1/3 * 6^2 * 8.4

V = 1/3 * 36 * 8.4

V = 100.8

I guess it's 'None of the Above'
