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
Let the distance be x miles
Time = Distance / speed
Time taken by Mike to go to his friend's house = x / 40 hours
Time taken by him to return = x / 45 hours
Total time = x / 40 + x / 45 = 4 hours
= 9x + 8x = 1440 miles
17x = 1440
= x = 1440 ÷ 7
= x = 84.706
Time taken to return home = 84.706 /45= 1.882 hours .
Therefore , Mike took 1.882 hours to reach home .
Answer:
7. x=19 2x=38
8.x=23 3x=69
9.x=12 (50-2)/4=12
10.x=15 (31-1)/2
11.x=16 (84-4)/5
12.x=27 (55-1)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
if 2 angles are opposite, it's the same
