(8+n)*-4=-12
-32-4n=-12
-4n=20
n=-5

Sum of n and 8 = (n + 8)

Multiplied by -4 = -4*(n + 8)

Result = -12

-4*(n + 8) = -12 Divide both sides by -4

(n + 8) = -12/-4

n + 8 = 3

n = 3 - 8

n = -5.

The number is -5.

How many models of 100 do you need to model 3200 explain

rusak2 [61]

32 models need to make model of 3200.

Given that a 1 model contain 100.

Two series of numbers, usually empirical data, that are proportional or proportional if their respective elements are in constant proportion, called the scaling factor or the rate constant.

One model has 100 elements.

Now, we have to find how many model contains 3200 elements.

So, 1 model=100 elements

n model =3200 elements

We will write this in proportion as

1/n=100/3200

Applying the cross multiply, we get

3200×1=n×100

Divide both sides with 100, we get

3200/100=100n/100

3200/100=n

32=n

Hence, the 32 models contain 3200 elements when one contain 100 elements.

Write the quadratic equation y=x^2-6+7 in vertex form

antoniya [11.8K]

Half the x-coefficient is -3, so the equation needs to be rearranged into a form that looks like
x² -6x +(-3)² + [something]
You can get there by adding and subtracting 9 from the original equation.
y = x² -6x +9 +7 -9 . . . . . 9 added and subtracted
y = (x² -6x +9) -2
The quantity in parentheses is a perfect square, so we can write the equation in the desired form as ...
y = (x -3)² -2

Solve 3x + k = c for x

olasank [31]

Here we are given the equation 3x+k =c

Here in order to solve for x , first let us bring k to the right side.

k is in addition on the left , so when we bring it to the right it gets subtracted

$3x=c-k$
