Answer:

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3(n+15) = -1/3 * n and -1/3* 15

-1/3*n=  -1/3n

-1/3*15= -5

-1/3n -5= -2

Add 5 to both sides

-1/3n = 3

Now divide 3 by -1/3

3/ (-1/3) = -9

n= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive formula to solve for n:

-a(b + c) = -ab - ac

So, to solve this you would have to use the distributive property:

-1/3n - 5 = -2

Add 5 to both sides

-1/3n - 5 + 5 = -2 + 5

-1/3n = 3

Now, multiply -3 from both sides

-1/3 * -3 n = 3 * -3

Simplify

n = -9

Hope that helped!!

The ratio of boys to girls in a kindergarten is 2 : 3. If the total number of children is 15, find the number of girls.
bekas [8.4K]
The number of girls is 9 :) you add the two ratio numbers to equal 5 you then divide the 15 children by the ratio of 5, which is 3. you then times 2x3 and 3x3 to get the boy and the girls numbers which are 6 &9 so the number of girls is 9

I don't know help me
Nataliya [291]
Ok so the first step would be to distribute 3 into 3x and -6. So 3 times 3x would be 9x. 3 times -6 is -18. 

the equation now is 
18 = 9x - 18

Now you would have to do inverse operation 

18 = 9x - 18
+18       +18

36 = 9x 

Now you would divide 9x into 36 to isolate the variable

36 / 9x = 4
x = 4
