What is -3 - 9n= 42 I can’t be negative

maw [93]

If you were to correctly simplify this equation, the answer would be a negative.

The answer is: n = -5

Here's how I got my answer:

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides. Which leaves us with $-9n=42+3$

Step 2: Simplify $42+3$ to 45. Which leaves us with $-9n = 45$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9. Which leaves us with $n = -45/9$

Step 4: Simplify $-45/9$ , to get your answer, n = -5.

6. Describe, step-by-step how to find the slope of a line through two points.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the difference in y-coordinates of the 2 points divided by the corresponding difference in x-coordinates.

For example:

Find the slope of the line joining the points (3, 5) and (-2, 1)

The slope = (5 - 1) / (3 - (-2))

= 4/(3+2)

= 4/5.

NOTE:

You would get the same result if you reversed the values

- that is (1 - 5)/(-2 - 3

= -4/-5

= 4/5.

The important thing to remember is to use <em>corresponding </em>values in the calculation.

Solve the equation square root 2x – 7 + x = 5 algebraically, and justify the solution set

yarga [219]

Answer: $x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x-7+x=5$

Group like terms:

$\left(2x+x\right)-7=5$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$3x-7=5$

Add 7 to both sides:

$3x-7+7=5+7$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$3x=5+7$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$3x=12$

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}$

Simplify the fraction:

$x=\frac{12}{3}$

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

$x=\frac{4\cdot 3}{1\cdot 3}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor and the answer will be:

$x=4$
