No 1 is not your answer, -1 would be your answer.

To show my work, here.

1. Expand (<span>6x −6= 4x − <span>8)
2. </span></span>Subtract <span>4x</span> from both sides (<span>6x−6−4x=−<span>8)
3. simplify 6x - 6 - 4x to 2x - 6 ( 2x - 6 = -8)
4. Add 6 to both sides ( 2x = -8 + 6)
5. simplify -8 + 6 to -2 (2x = -2)
6. divide both sides by 2 (x = -1)</span></span>

What is the value of n in the equation –1/2(2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1)?
ioda

Answer:

<h2>n = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{1}{2}(2n-4)+6=-9+4(2n+1)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(2n)+\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(-4)+6=-9+(4)(2n)+(4)(1)\\\\-n-2+6=-9+8n+4\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-n+(-2+6)=8n+(-9+4)\\\\-n+4=8n-5\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\-n=8n-9\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8n\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-9n=-9\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-9)}\\\\n=1

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number
Radda [10]

Answer:

A. Y-68=-5(x-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number of days that have passed. write an equation for the situation

We find the equation using the point slope equation of a line. This is given as:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

The slope intercept form will be

y = -5x + b

since the amount decreases by $5 per day...

Our slope is -5 so m=-5

We have a point (x1,y1) = (14, 68)

Hence, we have:

y-68 = -5(x-14)

Option A is correct

Freddy spent $56.07 on four pairs of jeans at the store. His cost included $4.15 sales tax.

$12.98 each. You would do $56.07 - $4.15. Then divide the answer of that by four.
