Answer:
46
Step-by-step explanation:
82 times 12=984(sum of total scores)
10 times 84=840(sum of scores with 2 removed)
984-840-98=46(ouch)
Parentheses x minus 2 squared plus 3
The answer (usually called the 'solution') is the one and only number that 'n' can be if that equation is a true statement. Here's a suggestion of a procedure you can use to find it:
<u>1.8 + 7n = 9.5 - 4n</u>
Add 4n to each side: 1.8 + 11n = 9.5
Subtract 1.8 from each side: 11n = 7.7
Divide each side by 11 : <em> n = 0.7</em>
