Answer:

n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 5 to each side, so it now looks like this: -3n = 21
Divide each side by -3 to cancel out the -3 next to n. It should now look like this: n = -7

I hope this helps!

Answer:

n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

-3 n - 5 = 16

Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left-hand side.

Add 5 to both sides:

(5 - 5) - 3 n = 5 + 16

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

5 - 5 = 0:

-3 n = 16 + 5

Hint: | Evaluate 16 + 5.

16 + 5 = 21:

-3 n = 21

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -3 n = 21 by -3:

(-3 n)/(-3) = 21/(-3)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

n = 21/(-3)

Hint: | Reduce 21/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 21 and -3.

The gcd of 21 and -3 is 3, so 21/(-3) = (3×7)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×7/(-1) = 7/(-1):

n = 7/(-1)

Hint: | Simplify the sign of 7/(-1).

Multiply numerator and denominator of 7/(-1) by -1:

Answer: n = -7

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (1 ,3) and a directrix of y=1?

zimovet [89]

Check the picture below.

now, we know the directrix is at y = 1, and the focus point is at 1,3, well, notice the picture, the distance between those fellows is just 2 units.

the vertex is half-way between those fellows, therefore, the vertex will be at 1,2.

the distance "p", from the vertex to either the directrix or focus, is really just 1 unit. Since the focus point is above the directrix, is a vertical parabola, and it opens upwards, like in the picture, and since it opens up, the "p" value is positive, or +1.

$\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2
\\\\
\boxed{4p(y- k)=(x- h)^2}
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ( h, k)\\\\
 p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=1\\
k=2\\
p=1
\end{cases}\implies 4(1)(y-2)=(x-1)^2\implies 4(y-2)=(x-1)^2
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-1)^2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{4}(x-1)^2+2$

Hevesh wants to make 2 lines of dominoes that are both 21 inches long. Each line has dominoes spaced 1 and 1/2 inches apart. How

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 30 dominoes in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each line is 21 inches long.

the space between dominoes is 1 + 1/2 inches.

(assuming that the distance includes the domino itself) Now, we need at least two dominoes to see this distance,

The we have N + 1 dominoes per line, and the distance is:

N*(1 + 1/2)inches = 21 inches

If we find N, we can find the number of domineoes in each line:

N = 21/(1 + 1/2) = 14

This means that we have 14 + 1 = 15 dominoes in each line, and we have two lines, so we have 30 dominoes in total.
