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

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

8n + 12 - 5n = 21

8n + 12 - 5n-12 = 21 -12

3n =9

n = 9/3 = 3

Given g(x) = −3x + 4

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The average rate of change of g from x = a to x = a + h is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$g(x) = -3x + 4$

And we want to determine its average rate of change of the function for x = a and x = a + h.

To determine the average rate of change, we find the slope of the function between the two points. In other words:

$\displaystyle \text{Avg} = \frac{g(a + h) - g(a) }{(a + h ) - a}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \text{Avg} &= \frac{g(a + h) - g(a) }{(a + h ) - a} \\ \\ &=\frac{(-3(a+h) + 4) - (-3a+4)}{h} \\ \\ &= \frac{(-3a -3h + 4) + (3a - 4) }{h} \\ \\ &= \frac{-3h}{h} \\ \\ &= -3\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the average rate of change of g from x = a to x = a + h is -3.

This is the expected result, as function g is linear, so its rate of change would be constant.

Yumi and Juan pick up litter along the highway at the same rate. Yumi picks up litter for 3 miles and takes two hours longer tha

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Juan's time = x
Yumi's time = x + 2
Yumi's distance = 3 miles
Juan's distance = 2 miles
Rate = distance/time
Juan's rate = 2/x
Yumi's rate = 3/(x + 2)
The rates are equal so:
2/x = 3/(x + 2)
2x + 4 = 3x
x = 4 hours
Yumi's time = 4 + 2 = 6 hours
The answer is D.
