Question

Enter the value of n so that the expression (ny + 25.7) + (–45.2y + 13.9) is equivalent to (–33.7y + 39.6).

Answer 1

Answer:

$n=11.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(ny+25.7)+(-45.2y+13.9)=(-33.7y+39.6)$

Group terms than contain the same variable in the left side of the equation

$(ny-45.2y)+(25.7+13.9)=(-33.7y+39.6)$

Combine like terms in the left side

$(ny-45.2y)+(39.6)=(-33.7y+39.6)$

Simplify

$ny-45.2y=-33.7y$

$ny=-33.7y+45.2$

$ny=11.5y$

Simplify the y

$n=11.5$
