Answer:

n = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Add 5 to each side, so it now looks like this: -3n = 21
  2. 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

Find the measures of the angles of a triangle whose angles have a measure of x, 1/2x, and 1/6x. Also, what kind of triangle is i
Alexandra [31]

the sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x + \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{6} x = 180

multiply through by 6

6x + 3x + x = 1080

10x = 1080 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x = 108

the angles are 108°, 54° and 18°

Since all the angles are different and the largest is 108°

The triangle is an obtuse scalene triangle

 The question is "What's Stella's opportunity cost of working on her serve for an hour?" The rest of the info looks like it's meant to confuse you. They charge $10 an hour. She values an hour of her time at $20. I believe that means she would pay $20. Hope this helps!
