How to solve this problem: 1 1/2(n-4 1/2)=12

Answer:

n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's essential that you use parentheses here to show how your numerals are grouped.  I have made some assumptions here, and believe you meant:

(1  1/2)(n - 4  1/2) = 12.

First, convert 1  1/2 and 4  1/2 into improper fractions:

(3/2)(n - 9/2) = 12

Multiplying both sides by (2/3) eliminates the fractional coefficient (3/2):

n - 9/2 = (2/3)(12), or    n - 9/2 = 8.

Again, eliminate the fraction by multiplying all terms by 2:

2n - 9 = 16

Then 2n = 25, and n = 25/2, or n = 12  1/2

____ [38]

a) Write an expression to describe the journey of the yellow submarine.

-> ((0 - 40) + 30) - 25

[] Sea level = 0

[] The descend 40 meters = -40

[] After examining the sea, they rose 30 meters = + 30

[] They dove 25 meters to look at an octopus = -25

b) At what depth did they stop to look at the octopus?

-> -35 meters

[] The started at 0 (0), descended 40 (-40), rose 30 (-10), and then sove 25 (-35) to see the octopus

[] Another way to think of this is to simplify our previous expression completely

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
