Answer: n=8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8(n-6)=-16
-8n+48=-16
-8n=-64
n=8
Answer:
? is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves.

Answer: C) 6</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The weird looking E symbol is the greek uppercase letter sigma. It refers to a sum.
It tells us to add up terms in the form (-1)^n*(3n+2) where n is an integer ranging from n = 1 to n = 4.
------------------
If n = 1, then we have
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^1*(3*1+2) = -5
Let A = -5 as we'll use it later.
------------------
If n = 2, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^2*(3*2+2) = 8
Let B = 8 since we'll use this later as well
------------------
If n = 3, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^3*(3*3+2) = -11
Let C = -11
-------------------
If n = 4, then
(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^4*(3*4+2) = 14
Let D = 14.
--------------------
We'll add up the values of A,B,C,D to get the final answer
A+B+C+D = -5+8+(-11)+14 = 6
This means that

3(6x+2)-18x=12 (y=6x+2, so you plug in 6x+2 into the y in 3y-18x=12)
18x+6-18x=12 (Then you distribute the 3 to the 6x and to the 2)
6=12 (Combine like terms 18x-18x)
There is no solution. Hope this helps and makes sense.
