Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation -2.5(5-n)+2=15. Shawna says, “I can begin by dividing each side of the equat

ion by –2.5 to get 5-n-2/2.5=-15/2.5." Dexter says, “I can begin by distributing -2.5 to get -12.5+2.5n+2=15." Tilana says, “I can begin by multiplying each side of the equation by -1/2,5 to get 5-n-0.8=-6." Which students are correct?

Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the  5-n you have to do the opposite which is division. 
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Hope this helps!

faust18 [17]

Answer:

12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=a(1/2)^t/h

270=410(1/2)^t/20

Divide both sides by 410

0.6585365854 = (1/2)^t/20

Log Both sides

Log(0.6585365854) / Log(1/2)

.6026645024= t/20

20 x .6026645024 = t

12.05329005 to the nearest tenth is 12.1 = t
