Hi there! :) :D

Answer:

A. -9

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Lesson: Dividing integers

First, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

$72/8=9$

It change positive to negative sign.

$72/9=8$

Then, you can also multiply by the numbers from left to right.

$9*8=72$

$8*9=72$

Final answer is -9

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Thank you so much! :)

Solve −2(n+3)−4=8 . The solution is n= .

Anton [14]

Answer:

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

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

Reorder the terms:

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

(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8

(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8

Reorder the terms:

-6 + -4 + -2n = 8

Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10

-10 + -2n = 8

Solving

-10 + -2n = 8

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + -2n = 8 + 10

-2n = 8 + 10

Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18

-2n = 18

Divide each side by '-2'.

n = -9

Simplifying

n = -9

Very buys a basket of mangoes that is priced $14 before tax. The sales tax is 6%. What is the total price Avery pays for t

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Avery needs to pay $14.84

Step-by-step explanation:

When there's a tax we need to sum the original value of the product with the tax's value. To find the amount of money Avery needs to pay in taxes we can apply a rule of three as shown below:

$\frac{14}{x} = \frac{100}{6} \frac{\%}{\%}$

Where "x" is the tax value, and $14 represents 100%, since it's the value used to calculate the tax. We have:

$x = \frac{14*6}{100}\\x = \frac{84}{100}\\x = 0.84$

The value to be paid is the product value plus the tax, therefore:

$\text{paid} = 14 + 0.84 = 14.84$

Avery needs to pay $14.84
