To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "n" by itself in the equation:

$-\frac{6}{7} =\frac{n}{21}$ Multiply 21 on both sides to get "n" by itself

$(21)(-\frac{6}{7} )=(21)\frac{n}{21}$

$-\frac{126}{7} =n$ Simplify the fraction

-18 = n

What is the solution set to the inequality 5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

You selected the correct answer: {x | x < -4 or x > 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x - 2)(x + 4) > 0

Use FOIL method to expand (x - 2)(x + 4):

$5(x^{2} + 2x - 8)$ > 0

Distribute 5 into $(x^{2} + 2x - 8)$

$5x^{2} + 10x - 40$ > 0

Divide all terms by 5 from both sides of the inequality:

$\frac{5x^{2}}{5} + \frac{10x}{5} - \frac{40}{5} > \frac{0}{5}$

$x^{2} + 2x - 8 > 0$

Factor the trinomial:

(x + 4) ( x - 2) > 0

x < -4 or x > -2

Therefore, the solution set to the inequality is {x | x < -4 or x > 2}

Interval notation: (-∞, -4) ∪ (2, ∞)

(only do #3 please) It's due 11:59 PM! Please solve!!!

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, know that slope-intercept form is y = mx + b. Since our y-intercept is 3, we can plug that in for B, and since the slope goes down 3 and over to the right 2, it is -3/2. So, when everything's plugged in, we get y = -3/2x + 3.

I hope this helped! Please leave Brainliest if it did.
