-13 is 4 less than a number n

n - 4 = -13 
MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Think of it like this.  Do you know what 4 less than a number n is?  Say n=5.  What's 4 less than 5?  That's 1.  What's 4 less than, say 7?  3.  We can write an expression: n-4.

So, if -13 is 4 less than n, or n-4, we have an equation: n-4 = -13 .  Are you familiar with negative numbers?  Well, what's 1-2?  That's -1.  Why?  Well, that's equal to 1-(1+1), which is equal to 1-1-1.  1-1=0, so this simplifies to 0-1.  Can you get any lower than 0?  Yes: using negatives!  0-1 equals 0 + -1.  Just like 0+1=1, 0 + -1 = -1.

Anyway, now we know about negative numbers.  Just think of -13 as 13 less than 0.  So we have n-4 = -13.  This could be your expression, if that's all you need.

Now, to solve, we need to find n, so we need to isolate it by adding 4 (the inverse operation) to both sides.  n-4+4 = -13+4.  n-4+4 equals n, but what's -13 + 4?  Well, if you're 13 below 0, but then you add another 4, then...you're 9 below 0, or -9!  So, n = -9.

Answer: n-4 = -13 OR n = -9

Please help me with how to solve this equation by completing the square. The answer should be (2, -6)
OLga [1]

Answer:

(2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

5n^2+20n-60

(5n+30)(n-2)

5n + 30 = 0

5n = -30

(5n = -30)/5

n = - 6

n - 2 = 0

n = 2

answer: (2, -6)

5 squares are placed end to end as below (see pic). What is the perimeter of the rectangle formed by the squares?
Nataly_w [17]
2b: If x is 2.1, then one side of the rectangle is 2.1, and another is 2.1*5=10.5.  Thus, the perimeter is 2*(2.1+10.5)=2*12.6=25.2.

3: One side of the square with side-length three will not be on the outside, so we have 3*3=9 inches perimeter from the square of side-length 3.  The square of side-length 6 has 3 from the top side missing from the outer perimeter, because it coincides with a side of the square of side-length three.  This square contributes 6*4-3=33 inches.  The total perimeter is 33+9=42 inches.

5kg to 5212g increase or decrease
Bingel [31]

Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

5kg to 5212g

First, Let's put these numbers into similar units

1kg=1000g, so

5kg=5000g

And 5000g<5212g

Therefore, it is an increase
