Answer:

The number is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable n = number

12 + 7n = n - 6

Assuming the question is solve for n, isolate the variable:

Subtract n from both sides:

12 + 6n = -6

Subtract 12 from both sides:

6n = -18

Divide by 6 on both sides:

n = -3

Check your work:

12 + 7(-3) = -3 - 6

12 - 21 = -3 - 6

-9 = -9

Correct

Answer:

So you know that the height that is visible above x=0 is 74.98 m
From x=0 below it has a total height of 518.16m to the sea floor

That tells us that we have two parts account for

74.98+518.16m = 593.14 m

I used math

anyway
remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

so

4n+2 and 1/2=2n+5
minus 2n both sides
4n-2n+2 and 1/2=2n-2n+5
2n+2 and 1/2=0+5
2n+2 and 1/2=5
minus 2 and 1/2 both sides
2n=2 and 1/2
divide both sides by 2
I mean times both sides by 1/2
n=1 and 1/4

answer is C
