2n-5(n+5)=8n+3(1-5n) what does n equal to

Alenkinab [10]

Reorder the terms: 2n + -5(5 + n) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) 2n + (5 * -5 + n * -5) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) 2n + (-25 + -5n) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) Reorder the terms: -25 + 2n + -5n = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) Combine like terms: 2n + -5n = -3n -25 + -3n = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) -25 + -3n = 8n + (1 * 3 + -5n * 3) -25 + -3n = 8n + (3 + -15n) Reorder the terms: -25 + -3n = 3 + 8n + -15n Combine like terms: 8n + -15n = -7n -25 + -3n = 3 + -7n Solving -25 + -3n = 3 + -7n Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7n' to each side of the equation. -25 + -3n + 7n = 3 + -7n + 7n Combine like terms: -3n + 7n = 4n -25 + 4n = 3 + -7n + 7n Combine like terms: -7n + 7n = 0 -25 + 4n = 3 + 0 -25 + 4n = 3 Add '25' to each side of the equation. -25 + 25 + 4n = 3 + 25 Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0 0 + 4n = 3 + 25 4n = 3 + 25 Combine like terms: 3 + 25 = 28 4n = 28 Divide each side by '4'. n = 7 Simplifying n = 7

Table of inches and centimeters

TEA [102]

If you compare table values to answer choices, you can see right away that several don't work. The number of centimeters is greater than the number of inches, so adding to or multiplying the number of centimeters by some number more than 1 will not give you the smalller number that is inches.

While it may work for the first number (5 inches) to add 7.7 to get the first number of centimeters (12.7), you have to know that you can only add like to like. You can only add inches to inches (getting a result of inches), or centimeters to centimeters (getting a result of centimeters). From the point of view of the units involved, it is <em>nonsensical</em> to add a pure number to a number of inches and expect to get a number of centimeters.

So, we're down to the second choice:

- The number of inches is multiplied by 2.54 to find the number of centimeters.

_____

To find the pattern in the table, you can ...

observe that the inch values differ by 1
observe that the centimeter values differ by 2.54
realize that the constant differences mean the relation between inches and centimeters is linear, and that a change in an inch value of 1 inch is multiplied by 2.54 to find the corresponding change in centimeter value.

_____

I don't know what the first step in your problem solving process is supposed to be. In my problem solving process, the first step is always to <em>look at what you are given</em>. The next step is <em>look at what you are being asked for</em>.

A business executive bought 40 stamps for

alekssr [168]

Answer:

32 33-cent stamps, 8 23-cent stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we need to set up a system of equations. Also known as solving for two variables (the number of each stamp).

Let's set x to be the number of 33-cent stamps. Similarly, let's set y to be the number of 23-cent stamps.

To make our first equation, let's think about the number of stamps total we have. We can say:

$x + y =40$

<em>(AKA - The number of 33-cent stamps, plus the number of 23-cent stamps, equals 40 stamps.)</em>

Now, let's make an equation for the cost of these stamps.

$0.33x + 0.23y = 12.40$

<em>(AKA - The cost of the stamps in total, should equal $12.40).</em>

So now, we have our two equations:

$x + y =40\\0.33x+0.23y=12.40$

If you have a TI-84 graphing calculator, you can go to apps -> polysmlt2 -> simultaneous eqn solver, and then input these equations into the menu. This will solve the problem for you.

If you need to do this manually, let's use substitution. Condense our first equation to make it more substitutable.

$x+y=40\\x=40-y$

Now, let's put this into our second equation.

$0.33x+0.23y=12.40\\0.33(40-y)+0.23y=12.40$

Distribute, and solve for y.

$13.2-0.33y +0.23y =12.40\\13.2-0.1y=12.40\\-0.1y=-0.8\\y=8$

Now, we plug this into one of our equations.

$x+y=40\\x+8=40\\x=32$

In the end, we have thirty-two 33-cent stamps, and eight 23-cent stamps.
