Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

3n = n² - 54

n² - 3n - 54 = 0

n² - 9n + 6n - 54 = 0

n(n - 9) + 6(n - 9) = 0

(n - 9)(n + 6) = 0

n = 9 , -6

What is the solution of the equation 1.6m - 4.8 = -1.6m

Flauer [41]

Solve for m:
1.6 m - 4.8 = -1.6 m

Add 1.6 m to both sides:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 1.6 m - 1.6 m

1.6 m - 1.6 m = 0:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 0

1.6 m + 1.6 m = 3.2 m:
3.2 m - 4.8 = 0

Add 4.8 to both sides:
3.2 m + (-4.8 + 4.8) = 4.8

4.8 - 4.8 = 0:
3.2 m = 4.8

Divide both sides of 3.2 m = 4.8 by 3.2:
(3.2 m)/3.2 = 4.8/3.2

3.2/3.2 = 1:
m = 4.8/3.2

4.8/3.2 ≈ 1.5:
Answer: m ≈ 1.5
