Answer:

Three toothpicks balance one cube.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B, T and C stand for bean, toothpick and cube respectively.

If two cubes and one bean are balanced by eight toothpick, this means:

2C + B = 8T

If one cube is balanced by one bean and one toothpick, this means:

B + T = C. Therefore, we have two equations:

2C + B = 8T

B + T = C

Multiplying the second equation by 2, we have:

2B + 2T = 2C

Rearranging the resulting equation, we have:

-2C + 2B = -2T. Therefore, we have:

2C + B = 8T

-2C + 2B = -2T

Adding the last two equations, we have:

3B = 6T

Divide both sides by 3, we have:

B = 2T

Hence, two toothpicks balances one bean.

From the question, we are told

B + T = C

Substituting B = 2T, we have:

2T + T = C

3T = C.

Therefore, three toothpicks balance one cube.

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the given equation. Then we can see which other equation has the same answer.

-5n+31=-14n-5

36=-9n

n=-4

We need to fina another equation that gives n=4 as the answer.

A. Incorrect

3-6n+3n=-3+4-4n

3-3n=1-4n

n=-2

B. Correct

\frac{11}{4} n+2=-3+\frac{3}{2}n

\frac{5}{4}n=-5

n=-4

C. Incorrect

1=0.75n+3.25

-2.25=0.75n

n=-3

D. Incorrect

-1-22n=-20n-9

8=2n

n=4
