Answer:

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16

Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.

-1/2n = 3n + 14

Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.

-7/2n = 14

Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.

-7n = 28

Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.

n = -4

Check.

2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16

2 + 2 = -12 + 16

4 = 4

Your answer is correct.

Answer:

12s - 16t

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3s + t) + 2(3s - 9t)

6s + 2t + 6s - 18t

12s + 2t - 18t

12s - 16t

Rewrite in Polar Form.... x^(2)+y^(2)-6y-8=0

skad [1K]

$\bf x^2+y^2-6y-8=0\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+y^2=r^2\\\\
y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies r^2-6rsin(\theta)=8
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we do some grouping}\implies [r^2-6rsin(\theta)]=8
\\\\\\\
[r^2-6rsin(\theta)+\boxed{?}^2]=8\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so we need a value there to make}\\
\textit{a perfect square trinomial}
\end{array}$

$\bf 6rsin(\theta)\iff 2\cdot r\cdot \boxed{3\cdot sin(\theta)}\impliedby \textit{so there}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, bear in mind we're just borrowing from zero, 0}
\\\\
\textit{so if we add, \underline{whatever}, we also have to subtract \underline{whatever}}$

$\bf [r^2-6rsin(\theta)\underline{+[3sin(\theta)]^2}]\quad \underline{-[3sin(\theta)]^2}=8\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\uparrow \\
\textit{so-called "completing the square"}
\\\\\\\
[r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+[3sin(\theta)]^2\implies [r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+9sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
r-3sin(\theta)=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}\implies r=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}+3sin(\theta)$

1. mucus - a slimy substance produced in the nose and throat to moisten and protect them
2. sterile - free from germs
3. enables - gives ability, power, or means to; makes able
4. specialize - to develop in a special way
5. critical - being important to the outcome of a situation

For #6-10, the word in italics is the one most similar to the first word.

6. scarce | plenty | many | rare
7. critical | important | useful | relaxed
8. sterile | dirty | germ-free | bacteria
9. enables | teaches | makes empty | allows
10. specialize | stretch | adapt | organize

I can't help you with the last one, because that's specific to you. If you have questions on how to work on that one specifically, though, feel free to message me or post a question about it. :)

A recipe for cake calls for 5.25 deciliters of milk. How many liters of milk are needed for the cake?

Anni [7]

To convert the amount of milk from deciliters to liters we proceed as follows:
1 liter = 10 deciliters
therefore the amount of liters used in making the cake will be found as follows:
5.25/10×1=0.525 liters

Answer: 0.525 liters
