Answer:
what
Step-by-step explanation:
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine
Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine
Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5 <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5
Micah = 64 - 5
Micah = 59
Micah is 59 inches tall
So,
0.2(n - 6) = 2.8
Distribute.
0.2n - 1.2 = 2.8
Add 1.2 to both sides.
0.2n = 4
Divide both sides by .2.
n = 20
Check.
0.2(20 - 6) = 2.8
Simplify inside parentheses.
0.2(14) = 2.8
Multiply.
2.8 = 2.8 This checks.
S = {2.8}
