Write as an equation.

3n+4=-8

Whenever you have two things that are equal and you do the same thing to each of them, they will still be the same. We can use this to our advantage here. Just use inverse operations to get x on its own.

Subtract 4 from each side.

3n+4-4=-8-4 \\ 3n=-12

Divide each side by 3.

\frac{3n}3=\frac{-12}3 \\\\ \boxed{n=-4}

PLEASE HELP!! I need this completed ASAP but I don't understand any of it!! It's due very soon!
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) you know interest is 22 and principal is 1000 and number of months is 1

b) I = rPm

   r = I/Pm

c) r = 22 / 1000(1) = 0.022 /month or 2.2% per month

or 12(0.022) = 0.264 or 26.4 % per year.

d) interest is $15, loan period is 2 weeks which occurs once during the loan, interest rate is 10% per two weeks.

P = I/rm

e) P = 15 / 0.10 = $150

Notice that there are 52 weeks/yr / 2week loan period = 26 period in a year.

This means that the APR is 0.10(26) = 2.60 or 260% annual interest rate. Pretty good return on investment if you are the lender and can keep your money lent out. Not so good if you are the borrower.

Which system is equivalent to<br> y= 9x^2<br> x+y=5<br> ?
melomori [17]

Answer : Option A

Explanation:

we can clearly see that from x+ y=5 we can substitute  y = 5-x in y = 9x^2

Option B is clearly incorrect  x can not be y -5

Option C  is incorrect because y can not be 5 +x

Option D is incorrect because  its y = 9x^2 not y^2 =9x^2 so y can not be 3x

if its y^2 = 9x^2 then  only  implies y =  3x
