Question

HELP with these two.

Answer 1

1. d = -6 2. n = -80

Explanation:

If you divide 42 by -252 you get -6. And if you use your mental math you see that two negatives make a positive then you see it has to be negative and 80/4= 20 than -80/-4 = 20. Hope this helps, let me know if correct, and have a great day!!

Answer 2

42d = -252 (since 42 is multiplied by d, you have to divide by 42 on both sides to get what d is)

d= -6

20 = n / (-4) (since n is being divided by -4, you have to multiply by -4 on both sides to get what n is)

n= -80

Explanation:

to get what the variable is, you have to "undo" the operation that is being done.
