I’m pretty sure that n is equal to -10
you bought a magazine for $5 and four erasers. you spent a total of $25.
Magazine cost: 5$ each
Eraser cost: X$ each
Total cost is the number of items (1 magazine) times the cost of each item (5$). We don't know the cost of each eraser, so we represent that using a variable, X.
1(5) + 4(X) = 25
5 + 4X = 25
subtract 5 from both sides
4X = 25 - 5
4X = 20
divide both sides by 4
X = 20/4
X = 5
Each eraser cost 5$
<h3>
Answers: m = 0 or m = -9</h3>
Work Shown:
m^2+9m=0
m(m+9)=0
m = 0 or m+9 = 0
m = 0 or m = -9

X = 5
Explanation:
5x-5 = 0 (add 5 to both side)
5x = 5 (divide 5 from both sides)
x=1
(3/10) in = (7/8) mi
1 in = (7/8) mi ÷ (3/10)
= 7/8 * (10/3) = 70/24
1 in = (70/24) mi
It means every 1 inch on the map drawing represents (70/24) miles ≈ 2.917 miles in reality.
