No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers
- (-) + (-) = (-)
- (-) × (-) = (+)
- (-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
- (-) × (+) = (-)
- (-) - (+) = (-)
- (+) - (-) = (+)
∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n
- Simplify it
∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n
- Multiply the bracket by (-)
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n
- Add the like terms
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n
∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Answer: either I don't understand the question or its 72% and I'm fairly certain its 72%
.75 pounds in each bag. If you add the total pounds of meat in the 2 packages, 4.5+2.25 you get 6.75. if you divide all 6.75 pounds equally into 9 bags, 6.75/9, you would get a total of .75 or 3/4 of a pound in each bag.
