What is -8(5-n)=-96 What is n equal to? I am having a brain fart.

2 answers:

8 0

N= -7
Use distributive property to get -40n+8n=-96
Then add 40 to both sides to get to 8n=-96
The divide both sides by 8 to get -7
Hope this helps!

Answer:

Solution,

 $- 8(5 - n) = - 96 \\ or \: - 40 + 8n = - 96 \\ or \: 8n = - 96 + 40 \\ or \: 8n = - 56 \\ or \: n = \frac{ - 56}{8} \\ n = - 7$ 

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Principal Lopez asked her 500 students to vote on the school's annual gift. 300 students voted to donate a telescope for the sci

Maksim231197 [3]

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.

<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem:

The total amount is the number of students, which is of b = 500.

300 voted to donate, hence a = 300.

The percentage is given by:

$P = \frac{300}{500} \times 100\% = 60\%$

60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.

Refer to the figure. Barton Road and Olive Tree Lane

Fantom [35]

Angles at right-angle add up to 90 degrees

The measure of acute angle Tryon Street forms with Barton Road is 33 degrees

The angle is given as:

$\mathbf{A = 57^o}$ ---- Angle formed by Tryon Street with Olive Tree Lane.

The measure of the acute angle formed by Tryon Street with Barton Road (B) is calculated using:

$\mathbf{A + B = 90}$ ---- angle at right-angle

Make B the subject

$\mathbf{B = 90 - A}$

Substitute 57 for A

$\mathbf{B = 90 - 57}$

$\mathbf{B = 33}$

Hence, the measure of acute angle is 33 degrees

Dean sot a goal to do more than 900 push-ups this month. So far, he has done 230 push-ups, and there are 20 more days remaining

vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

he has 900-230 = 670 more push-ups to do in the remaining 20 days.

so, he has to do every day

670/20 = 67/2 = 33.5 push-ups.

fractions of push-ups don't make sense.

we cannot say, he has to do at least 33 per day, because then he might come short in the end (if he sticks to the low limit) .

so, we have to say he has to do more than 33 or at least 34 push-ups per day to be sure he will at least reach his goal.

p > 33

p >= 34

both should be correct in the context of using only whole numbers.

bur in case of doubt I would pick p >= 34.
