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!!

Adam is building a rectangular planter without a top the planter will be 7 feet wide 5 feet wide, 5 feet long, and 9 inches high
Tom [10]
Answer: The surface area of the planter will be 120.5 square feet.

In our shape, we will have 5 sides. The base and the four sides going up from each edge of the base.

The base will be 7 x 5 = 35 square feet.

The front and back side will each be 7 x 0.75 = 5.25 square feet.

The left and right side will each be 5 x 0.75 = 3.75 square feet.

If we add up the 5 faces we get:
35 + 5.25 + 5.25 + 3.75 + 3.75 = 120.5 square feet

The sum of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 183 whats the second number im this sentence​
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The second number is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

It's implied that the first integer is odd.

Since the consecutive intergers are odd, use an equation that looks like this:

(x+2) + (x+2) + (x+2) = 183 and simplify

*If you add 2 to an odd number, you get the next odd number. That's why I used 2*

3x + 6 = 183 → 3x = 177 → x = 59 which means the first integer is 59. The consecutive integers is 59, 61, 63.
