Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14

Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14

Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14

Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24

Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6

So n=6

baherus [9]

Answer:

The Inequality For determining number of equation written by Mustafa for school paper is $x+\frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{3}{2}x\geq 22$ .

Mustafa has written more than 8 articles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Combined Total Number of articles = 22

Let the number of articles written by Mustafa be 'x'.

Now Given:

Heloise has written $\frac{1}{4}$ as many articles as Mustafa has.

Number of article written by Heloise = $\frac{1}{4}x$

Gia has written $\frac{3}{2}$ as many articles as Mustafa has.

Number of article written by Gia = $\frac{3}{2}x$

Now we know that;

The sum of number of articles written by Mustafa and Number of article written by Heloise and Number of article written by Gia is greater than or equal to Combined Total Number of articles.

framing in equation form we get;

$x+\frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{3}{2}x\geq 22$

Hence the Inequality For determining number of equation written by Mustafa for school paper is $x+\frac{1}{4}x+ \frac{3}{2}x\geq 22$ .

Now Solving the Inequality we get;

Taking LCM for making the denominator common we get:

$\frac{x\times 4}{4}+\frac{1\times1}{4\times1}x+ \frac{3\times2}{2\times2}x\geq 22\\\\\frac{4x}{4}+ \frac{x}{4}+\frac{6x}{4}\geq 22\\\\\frac{4x+x+6x}{4} \geq 22\\\\11x\geq 22\times4\\\\11x\geq 88\\\\x\geq \frac{88}{11} \\\\x\geq 8$

Hence Mustafa has written more than 8 articles.

△ACD∼△BED What is the value of x?

slega [8]

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BED is enlarged by scale factor 4.

(25-x)/4 = x

Multiply both sides by 4.

25-x = 4x

Add x on both sides.

25 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.

5 = x
