Answer:

The fourth option is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

-2n(5+n-8-3n)

Given that n=3,We substitute the value of n into the expression and simplify.

This implies that,

-2n(5+n-8-3n)=-2(3)[5+3-8-3(3)]

=-6(5+3-8-9)

=-6(-9)

=54

Hence the answer is 54

Part of the proceeds from a garage sale was $470 worth of $10 and $20 bills. If there were 14 more $10 bills than $20 bills, fin

Brums [2.3K]

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Worth of proceeds from garage = $470

Let,

x be the number of $10 bills

y be the number of $20 bills.

According to given situation;

10x+20y=470 Eqn 1

x = y+14 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$10(y+14)+20y=470\\10y+140+20y=470\\30y=470-140\\30y=330$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30y}{30}=\frac{330}{30}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 2

$x=11+14\\x=25$

There are 25 $10 bills and 11 $20 bills.
