Answer: n = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
8(3n + 5) = -32
- <em>Divide both sides by 8.</em>
(3n + 5) = -4
- <em>Subtract 5 by both sides.</em>
3n = -4 - 5
3n = -9
- <em>Divide both sides by 3.</em>
n = -3
Hey there!
Consider the exponential growth equation:

, where:
P = initial amount
r = interest rate (as a decimal, divide a percentage by 100 to get its decimal form)
t = years
All you need to do is plug in your given numbers:
P = 120
r = 0.10
t = x
Your final equation will be:

Hope this helped you out! :-)
Using the distributive property to write an equivalent expression,
60x-24=12(5x-2)
Basically what you have to do is substitute the variables for the values
-4+-9+5= -8
-2-3= -5
2= 2
6-4+1= 3
-9(-2+-4--3)= 27
