The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.

Solve 18n - 7p-15n = 5p for n.<br> A n = 1<br> B. n=2p<br> C. n = 1/2<br> D. n=4p
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option D</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

18n - 7p-15n = 5p

To solve for n first make n the subject

Group like terms

That's

18n - 15n = 5p + 7p

Simplify

3n = 12p

Divide both sides by 3 to make n stand alone

That's

3n/3 = 12p/3

We have the final answer as

<h2>n = 4p</h2>

Hope this helps you
