n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive odd integers
The equation:
2n = 3(n + 4) + 15 |use distributive property
2n = (3)(n) + (3)(4) + 15
2n = 3n + 12 + 15
2n = 3n + 27 |subtract 3n from both sides
-n = 27 |change the signs
n = -27
n + 2 = -27 + 2 = -25
n + 4 = -27 + 4 = -23
Answer: -27, -25, -23.
Answer:
<em>1.1n</em>
<em>0.6p</em>
<em>0.3b</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simplifying Like terms</u>
Like or similar terms are those who have the same letters raised to the same power. For example, 5ab, -6ba, 0.6ab are like terms.
Terms like 5xy, -6xz,
are not similar because they have different letters of powers.
The terms 1.6n-0.5n are similar and they can be simplified by operating their coefficients: 1.6-0.5=1.1. Thus
1.6n - 0.5n = 1.1n
Similarly, we can simplify 0.9p-0.3p. Operating 0.9-0.3=0.6 gives the result:
0.9p - 0.3p = 0.6p
Finally:
b - 0.7b = (1 - 0.7)b = 0.3b
Results:
1.1n
0.6p
0.3b
So 15 minus the flat fee is 11.25 divided by .85 is 13.23 km rounded 13km
