Answer:

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8n + 12 + -5n = 21

Reorder the terms:

12 + 8n + -5n = 21

Combine like terms: 8n + -5n = 3n

12 + 3n = 21

Solving

12 + 3n = 21

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 3n = 21 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 3n = 21 + -12

3n = 21 + -12

Combine like terms: 21 + -12 = 9

3n = 9

Divide each side by '3'.

n = 3

Simplifying

n = 3

How do you use a number line from least to greatest
Arlecino [84]

Step-by-step explanation:

left to right.

the smallest numbers are on the left, the largest in the right.

all the numbers in the line are sorted.

so, going from left to right the numbers get continuously larger (no exception), and when going from right to left, they get continuously smaller.

remember that the negative numbers are smaller than the positive numbers. so, the negative numbers (if there are any in your case) are on the left side.

and negative numbers get smaller by "seemingly increasing" : -1 is larger than -2 and so on.

so, the range of the negative numbers starts on the left side with the "largest" negative number (but when you think about it, it IS the smallest number) and their absolute value gets smaller until they reach 0, and then the positive numbers start from small to large.

this also asked to fractions and mixed fraction numbers :

e.g. -2 1/2 is smaller than -2 and larger than -3.

because it is -2 + -1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -2 1/2.

in that sense it is the same principle as with positive numbers :

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2

-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2

Find the constant rate of change for the representation,<br><br> 24x-28y=14
dem82 [27]

Answer:

6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant rate of change is also know as the slope of the expression

Given

24x-28y=14

Write in standard form y = mx+c

m is the slope

24x-28y=14

-28y = -24x + 14

y = -24x/-28 + 14/-28

y = 6/7 x - 1/2

Compare

mx = 6/7 x

m = 6/7

Hence the  constant rate of change is 6/7
