Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2n - 8 = -2 (-3n + 12) + 8

2n - 8 = -(-6n + 24) + 8

2n - 8 = 6n - 24 + 8

2n - 8 = 6n - 16

-4n = -8

Divide each side by 4

n = 2

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given -(8-2n)=8-2(12-3n), which is an equation containing variables, and we want to solve the equation for the variable, which is n.

To do that, we want to isolate n on one side

This equation needs to be solved by the order of operations (PEMDAS, or parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

First, working from left to right, open up the parentheses on the left side by multiplying both 8 and -2n by -1 (the negative sign in front of the parentheses indicates -1(8-2n), or (8)(-1) + (-1)(-2n))

-1*8=-8

-1*-2n=2n

-8+2n = 8-2(12-3n)

Now on the right, it seems like we should subtract 2 from 8, then multiply the result by (12-3n), but remember we still have parentheses to deal with.

So multiply both 12 and -3n by -2, then add the numbers together

12*-2=-24

-3n*-2=6n

-24+6n

Remember that we didn't do anything to 8, so the equation so far is:

-8+2n=8-24+6n

Now we can start to isolate n on one side (leave n by itself on one side)

Remember we're still working from left-right

So remove -8 from the left by adding it to both sides (-8+8=0)

-8+2n=8-24+6n

+8       +8

_______________________

0 + 2n=16-24+6n

Now we can subtract 24 from 16

0 + 2n = -8 + 6n

Now, we still have 6n on the right, and remember; we want to isolate n on one side.

So let's remove it from the right by subtracting 6n from both sides

0 + 2n = -8+6n

   -6n         -6n

_________________

    -4n = -8

Now we have the expressions containing variables on the left and the numbers on the right. However, remember we just want a singular n by itself, not -4n.

A singular n is also 1n, since 1 * any number = that number

So divide both sides by -4 to find what the value of 1n is

<u> n = 2 </u>

Hope this helps!

Kurt and Maria's high school is having a newspaper drive.The goal is to collect 3,585 pounds of newspapers. So far, 21% of the g
Novay_Z [31]

Options:

Who is right, and why?

a. Neither Kurt nor Maria is right, because 3,500 should be used instead of 3,600.

b. Kurt is right, because finding 1/5 of 3,600 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

c. Maria is right, because finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Answer:

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Goal = 3585

Collected = 21\%

Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2

Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600

Required [Missing from the question]

Who is correct and why?

First, we calculate the actual amount collected.

Actual = Collected * Goal

Actual = 21\% * 3585

Actual = 752.85

Actual = 753 --- approximate

Next, determine the estimate (round 3585 to 3600 and 21% to 20%)

Estimate = 20\% * 3600

Estimate = 720

Next, calculate Kurt and Maria's estimates

Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2

Kurt = 720

Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600

Maria = 720

<em>Hence, Kurt and Maria are correct because of option (d)</em>
