Answer:

The error is the solution.

The solution is all real numbers, or infinite amount of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4(2n - 3) = 12 - 8n

Step 2: Solve for n

Distribute -4: -8n + 12 = 12 - 8n
Subtract 12 on both sides: -8n = -8n
Add 8n to both sides: 0 = 0

Here we see that n can equal any number. If you plug in any number n, it will render the equation true. Therefore, our solution is n = infinite amount of solutions.

n = 0 is only slightly correct. 0 does work as the solution, but there are solutions as well.

An airplane climbs at an angle of 16° with the ground. Find the ground

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

2403.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We get the length of the hypotenuse, and the base angle. To find the length of the base, we use the cosine of 16° since it is equal to the adjacent side length/ hypotenuse side length or cos 16°= x/2500. The isolate x by multiplying both sides by 2500. The cos 16° is around 0.96126, multiplied by 2500 (cos 16°(2500)) = 2403.1

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line 3x - y = 6?

DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to remember the line equation y=mx+b , then place the given equation into this form (y= -3x-6).

Remember that (m) is your slope. So, to find a parallel line, they must have an equal slope. Check the other equations and see which one had a slope of -3. The answer C also has a slope of -3. So those lines would be parallel.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) uses the median to report the average price of a home in the United

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) uses the median to report the average price of a home in the United States.

We know that mean, median and mode are measures of central tendency.

Mean is the average of all the prices while median is the middle entry when arranged in ascending order.

Mean has the disadvantage of showing undue figure if extreme entries are there. i.e. outlier affect mean.

Suppose a price goes extremely high, then mean will fluctuate more than median.

So median using gives a reliable estimate since median gives the middle price and equally spread to other sides.
