Hi there!

<h2>n = 2.5</h2>

-5(4n - 2.4) + 2(1.3 + 6n) = -5.4

Distribute the coefficients outside of the parenthesis:

-5(4n) - 5(-2.4) + 2(1.3) + 2(6n) = -5.4

-20n + 12 + 2.6 + 12n = -5.4

Combine like terms:

-8n + 14.6 = -5.4

Subtract 14.6 from both sides:

-8n = -20

Divide both sides by -8:

-8n/(-8) = -20/(-8)

n = 2.5

Answer:

n = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute

-20n + 12 + 2.6 + 12n = -5.4

combine terms

-8n + 14.6 = -5.4

subtract 14.6 from both sides

-8n = -20

divide by -8

n = 2.5

A group of 18 people ordered soup and sandwiches for lunch. Each person in the group either ordered one soup or one sandwich . T
kkurt [141]
Let's say a = number of ordered soups, b = number of ordered sandwiches.

Then 4.5a + 7.75b = 113.50, and a and b are integers between 0 and 18 inclusive.

How do we tackle this? If all ordered soup, the cost would be $81, so we'll have at least 4 sandwiches. If all ordered sandwich, the cost would be $139.5, so at most 15 sandwiches were ordered. You also know an even number of sandwiches was ordered, to let the price end at 50 cent.

If you brute-force from 4,6,8,10,12 to 14 sandwiches, you find the answer at 10 sandwiches and 8 soups.

10*7.75 + 8*4.50 = 113.50
