Question

The solution is n=-2 verified as a solution to the equation 1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2. What is the last line of the justification?

Answer 1

Answer:

- 0.8 = - 0.8

n = - 2 is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2

1.4(- 2) + 2 = 2(- 2) + 3.2

- 2.8 + 2 = - 4 + 3.2

- 0.8 = - 0.8

How to solve

1.4n + 2 = 2n + 3.2

1.4n + 2 - 2 = 2n + 3.2 - 2

1.4n = 2n + 1.2

1.4n - 2n = 2n - 2n + 1.2

- 0.6n = 1.2

- 0.6n ÷ - 0.6 = 1.2 ÷ - 0.6

n = - 2
