So umm ahh I won't tell answer but I'll teach <u>HOW</u> to solve it :>
Sooo........
Just ask your teacher that is the best best best helpful hint (IT IS ACTUALLY)
To solve this problem do this: ( 3 x 5 x 8 ) - ( 2 x 8 ) = 104
To solve an equation, we should isolate the variable by doing the reverse operations and simplify. It is sometimes easier to simplify at the beginning, and then again at the end.
-17=n-5+3n
-17=-5+4n
+5 +5
-12=4n
/4 /4
-3=n
Using the math above, we can see that n=-3.
I would go with an <span>irrational number because the 0.86421 is a real number and it can't be expressed as a fraction or ratio </span>
