A process where one person can be put in the place of another, if they both are equally skilled.
Answer:
n= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-2(n + 3) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-2(3 + n) + -4 = 8
(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8
(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-6 + -4 + -2n = 8
Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -2n = 8 + 10
-2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18
-2n = 18
Divide each side by '-2'.
n = -9
Simplifying
n = -9
3/4 (x-12)=12
3/4x - 9= 12
+9 +9
3/4x=21
*3/4 *3/4
x= 15 3/4
and
3/4y-12=12
+12 +12
3/4y = 24
*3/4 *3/4
y= 18
