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

neonofarm [45]
The area of the mat = total area added minus the original area of the water color painting.
length of the mat is:L = 20 in + 1 in + 1 in because 1 in  is added to each sideL = 22 inwidth of the mat is:w = 9 in + 1 in + 1inw = 11 in
Area mat = (22 in x 11 in) - ( 20 in x 9 in)

1+4=5<br> 2+5=12<br> 3+6=21<br> 8+11=?
MariettaO [177]
Oh, I SEE what da pattern is! =D
You see, like in this problem:
2 + 5 = 12
They did 5 times 2 = 10, plus da 2 in da problem = 12.
Same with 3 + 6 = 21, 6 times 3 = 18, 18 plus da 3 given in da problem = 21.
Just like 1 + 4 = 5, 4 times 1 = 4, plus da 1 in da problem = 5.
SO,
with that strategy, 8 +11 = 96, because 8 times 11 = 88, plus da 8 given in da problem = 96.
I hope I helped! =D
