Answer:

Question 1

Original Equation:

-3n-4n-17=25

Add 17 to both sides (cancels out the -17)

-3n-4n=42

Combine -3n and -4n.

-7n=42

Divide by -7

n = -6

Question 2

Original Equation:

-15+7.5(2d-1)=7.5

Distribute:

-15+15d-7.5=7.5

Add 7.5 to both sides:

-15+15d=15

Add 15 to both sides:

15d=30

Divide by 15:

d = 2

Let me know if this helps!

Answer:

-3n-4n = 25 + 17

-7n = 42

n= -6

the main thing for here is to combine the like terms and to solve for n which is done by putting all the numbers with variables on one side and the non variables on the other and divide each side by the number that has the variable. Remember that when you bring numbers on the other side, you change its sign, for example if you have 5 on one side and you bring to the other side of the equal sign it becomes -5.

-15 + 15d -7.5d =7.5

15d - 7.5d = 7.5 + 15

7.5d = 22.5

d = 3

for the part where theres 7.5(2d-1)

you multiply each number inside the bracket by 7.5, its called distributivity of multiplication

hope that answers your question

hope you understand what i wrote lol

good luck:)

How to solve (-1,8) and (8,-8)

Volgvan

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).

2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).

3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.

4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b

5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.
